Fabric Wrap-ups

Total Time Needed:
1 Hour

In Japan, cloths called furoshiki serve as an elegant and reusable alternative to wrapping paper. Almost any size or type of fabric or fleece -- from your craft closet or a store's bargain bin -- will work. For detailed directions on how to fold and tie your own furoshiki, click here.

Instructions
