How to Wrap the Prettiest Presents: 5 Perfect Techniques

Discover creative and eco-friendly ways to wrap your gifts using reusable fabric furoshiki—stylish, simple, and zero-waste!

Looking for a unique, beautiful, and eco-friendly way to wrap your gifts? Our furoshikis, reusable fabric wraps inspired by a Japanese tradition, are one of our best-sellers, and for good reason! Whether it’s for a birthday, a holiday, or a just-because gift, these versatile wraps turn every present into a little work of art.

In this article, we present our 5 most beautiful wrapping techniques with a furoshiki. Whether it's for a birthday, a shower, or even the holiday season, these ideas will surely turn heads!


The traditional

Undoubtedly the easiest and most classic technique for using a furoshiki, this is the one you can see most often in our photos. All you need is a furoshiki wrap in your favorite color and accessories if you want to embellish it all!

1. Place your gift in the center of the square of fabric, so that it forms a diamond shape inside the square of fabric.

2. Fold one of the corners of the square fabric over the gift.

3. Fold the opposite corner of the previous corner over itself before folding it over the gift.

4. Gather the two remaining corners together to tie them at the center of the gift.

5. Add your favorite accessory to the knot to personalize it elegantly.


The double bottle

Tired of always using the same old bottle gift bags when giving a host gift to your loved ones? We have the solution for you, it's beautiful, simple, and eco-friendly!

1. Place two bottles side by side on the square of fabric, ensuring that the bottoms of both bottles touch.

2. Fold one of the free corners over the other, passing over the bottles.

3. Roll the bottles to the end of the remaining corner.

4. Fold the bottles so that they are side by side.

5. Tie the fabric corners above the bottles together to finalize your wrapping (you can even add a loop or a bow at this point).

The discreet (or almost)

We have THE perfect technique to offer you if you want a wrapping that can easily accommodate a beautiful ribbon or a decorative band. 

1. Place your gift in the center of the square of fabric, so that it forms a diamond shape inside the square of fabric.

2. Fold the top corner of the square of fabric over the gift.

3. Fold the two corners from the sides to the center, one at a time, folding the last one to hide the extra fabric. Here, you should notice a 'pocket' starting to form under the pile of fabric.

4. With the remaining corner of the fabric, fold it over the gift by tucking the end under the pocket that was created previously.

5. Complete the wrapping with your favorite ribbon to add a touch of elegance.

The easiest

Are you just starting your collection of reusable fabric wraps or are you simply looking to be super efficient? This technique is for you!

1. Place your gift in the center of the square of fabric, so that it forms a diamond shape inside the square of fabric.

2. Fold two ends together, at the center to tie them.

3. Do the same with the remaining ends and you're done!

4. Don't forget to add a cabbage on top to complete your perfect wrap!

The inverted

This is the perfect trick to add a little 'twist' to the easiest wrapping technique. In the blink of an eye, you can energize the presentation of your gifts and impress everyone at the table!

1. Place your gift in the center of the square of fabric, so that it forms a diamond shape inside the square of fabric.

2. Fold one of the corners of the square fabric over the gift.

3. Fold the opposite corner of the previous corner over itself before folding it over the gift.

4. Gather the two remaining corners together but, instead of tying them together, pass them to the back of the gift.

5. Once at the back of the gift, make a double knot to complete your beautiful work and add a loop!

As you can see, the possibilities are endless when you have a furoshiki in hand! Whether you choose a classic knot, an original pouch, or a two-gift wrap, each technique highlights your care while reducing your environmental impact. Our reusable fabric gift wraps are not only beautiful, they are thoughtful and accessible.
