Furoshiki gift wrapping from RecycleNow on Vimeo

I found this video on Recycle Now and found it to be a very cool thing! This is the art of Furoshiki; it adds an art to gift wrapping that is both creative and eco-friendly! Once the gift is unwrapped, there is nothing to be thrown away and afterwards the piece of cloth can be used as a handy dandy tote bag.

You can use any material that is large enough to wrap around the gift several times but don’t use any cloth that is bulky (like quilt) because it will be hard to tie a knot. If you don’t have any fabric lying around the house, stop by your local thrift stores, or cut up any old sheets, or table cloths
