Wrapping with Fabric: Your Complete Guide to Furoshiki - The Japanese Art of Wrapping Paperback – Illustrated, October 14, 2014

This book is full of good ideas and instruction for folding your own creations.This is going to help us have some fun together using our cloth.

Exactly what I needed. Lovely pictures, good ideas, clear directions. Best thing, all is reusable and no gift wrap in the landfill. Different fabrics on hand, yarn, ribbon and lace with various outdoor leaves, flowers and berries make for unique gifts. I think we like the wrapping experience more than the gift shopping.

I hate buying wrapping paper; it's expensive and wasteful. I've been sort of peripherally aware of furoshiki for many years but didn't take much of an interest until lately when I happened upon some for sale on Ebay. I love textiles of any kind and was fascinated by the variety so bought this book to learn how to use them as intended. It's a great book! The directions are easy to follow with lots of information. The downside is that I now spend too much time combing Ebay and Etsy looking for good deals in vintage furoshiki and have several shibori projects in the works to make some of my own.I think the hardest part of using furoshiki to wrap gifts is forcing yourself to give up a lovely bit of textile.

We have been reusing our wrapping paper for decades. This is a good guide for reusable fabric gift wrap. I found the number of different wrapping styles very helpful and not just applicable to gift wrap. The text and images are clear and easy to follow. It was quick and easy to wrap several different style packages and much quicker than using paper. I wrapped several Christmas packages with Hallmark Reusable Fabric Gift Wrap, then wrapped the book and remaining fabric as a final gift. The recipient was delighted with the book and wrapping fabric.

Lots of color photos and clear instructions. Very fun!

Very helpful! I keep thinking it would be interesting to find a furoshiki with these directions already printed on it.

Extremely useful skill, has made making kits, and carrying a wide variety of things, much easier. I'm still finding uses for furoshiki wrapping, and can't seem to keep enough fabric on hand for it's various uses.

The best part is that you can use about anything to have some fun and be creative when giving a gift. I love going out to the thrift shops and buying scarves to wrap things in, and the presents are much mroe welcomed too!
