Plan to use strips of different lengths for a nicer look (2 lengths here for our wreath, approximately 25cm and 15cm) Include some bias strips as well to vary the materials and add some flair. Then carefully tie the small strips together one by one, taking care to distribute them as you wish.

Or how to wrap your gifts responsibly and without waste! What is a Furoshiki? Often described as the origami of fabric, Furoshiki is a Japanese fabric-folding technique used to wrap gifts without waste. While the term originally referred to a folding and knotting technique favored by Japanese nobility for wrapping gifts and everyday objects, it now refers to the piece of fabric itself. Original and quick to make, it's both eco-friendly and beautiful. Gift wrap is replaced with pretty fabric scraps, remnants, and colorful bias tape. Gifts are adorned with vibrant, bohemian patterns. The Japanese also use this folding technique to carry or wrap everyday items. Furoshiki wrapping tutorial Very easy to make, discover below some Furoshiki-style folding techniques depending on your item: Otsukai Tsutsumi and Sao Tsutsumi for wrapping a book, Yotsu Musubi for a square object... All objects can be wrapped in a Furoshiki; simply adapt the fabric size and folding technique to your gift. To further enhance your Furoshiki, you can also create a simple hem or sew two different prints on the front and back. Step 1 : Take a square piece of fabric with the design printed on both sides. To choose the ideal size, multiply the length of the object by 3 to allow enough room to tie a small knot. ( If your object is 20 centimeters long, you will need a 60 x 60 cm piece of fabric). Step 2 : Place the object in the center of your fabric, which has been previously positioned in a diamond shape in front of you. Step 3 : Fold the corner closest to you over the object, then do the same with the opposite corner, so that the fabric fits snugly around the edges of the gift. Step 4 : Take the 2 remaining ends in each hand and tie them firmly on the visible side of the package. Step 5 : Adjust the fabric to your liking, and embellish your pretty package with small bells or a pretty ribbon , a small note, a candy cane or anything else that pleases you. Easy to make, the Furoshiki technique is a great way to combine fun and sustainability for zero-waste and infinitely reusable gift wrapping!
