This is very useful for me. My family has been using, and re-using, cloth to wrap Christmas presents. We've been using pins, tape and ribbons to hold the cloth shut and it's a bit of a hassle. The methods shown here will make my wrapping much easier. Thanks for posting the video.
I will be acquiring some fabric to wrap all my gifts in this way in future! I've seen this done before but thank you for the video of HOW to do it, it's great! I might even use my design skills to make a flyer up to include so the recipients can have a go too! Pay it forward!
@Itza I do that each year with Christmas bags and fabric. I let them know that if I get the bag or fabric back, they can be sure to get another gift inside. works each time!
I saw a few different comments about the size of fabric. I used about 3' X 3' to make a decent sized sholdar bag (about 12" once folded and a pretty comfortable length). I also saw a few posts commenting on the cost of this form of gift wrap. If you go to fabric stores, many will sell small amounts of remaining fabric for fractions of the cost.
This so versatile. I do this for potluck, where its more difficult to pack big amount of food in bags. I wrap the whole pot with food in cloth. So no need to use plastic containers or bags
You would have to recycle the cloth quite a couple of times before it's more eco-friendly than paper. Use second hand or organic cloth. If you do that, it's all fine. :) My relatives do this, but they have sown bags instead of wrapping in cloth. Same, same but different...
+Erik Pihl Presumably the person receiving the gift won't be throwing the cloth away. I mean, you can't control what other people do but I know if I received something wrapped in a scarf I wouldn't just toss the scarf, I'd use it.
Interesting, seems like a lotta trouble for me but I just use gift bags. I have a ton of them, and we just re-use them galore. Plus, how easy is it to slap the gift in there.. ahhhh path of least resistance how I love you.
Actually, in our family, we would reuse Christmas wrapping paper several times. Very natsukashii. Just use minimal tape and cut the tape instead of ripping open. One thing that I was never clear about: Is the furoshiki part of the gift or is the receiver expected to return it? If it's part of the gift then that could add considerably to your expenses when you are giving them away but no one ever gives you a gift wrapped in furoshiki.
Good idea for hostess or birthday gifts... Not so much Christmas in my opinion. Half of the fun Christmas morning is tearing off the wrapping paper, its always been the best part in my family. And Lush makes something almost exactly like this called knot wraps, very interesting~ Happy Holidays everyone! :)
@cafeenerush21 Duh, how is the cloth "wasted"? all you do is untie the knots and use it again. How many times can you use a piece of wrapping paper before it falls apart from tears and creases. If the person you give it to doesn't use it , they can give it back to you. More likely, they will want to learn how you did it so they can gift someone with a nice cloth wrapped gift. if your circle of gifting is small enough, you might get your cloth back with a gift inside just for you!
it is so cool............ been looking for this video since my cousin ask me "is there an art for wrapping, like what i always see in anime does to there lunch boxes as they wrap in a piece of cloth"? thanks for sharing
AWESOME is right! I am truly inspired! I will simply have to find a way to make a video THIS GOOD about binary finger counting (this video make MY video look like absolute MUSH!) I am truly inspired (if that wasn't obvious).
@@kimroller3609 Actually they are usually square. About 3' for the larger ones, 2' or so for the smaller one used for the chocolates. but when they are used by a lot of people in a culture you'd have a supply of different sizes and learn from experience which size to use.
@55fumufumu Really? You don't think that the Ancient Chinese, Egyptians, or Mesopotamians figured out that you can carry things around in a square piece of cloth?
By untying the knots! Simples. Much easier than tearing off sticky tape and string and you can reuse the wrapping for other things instead of throwing it away.
well, the knot wasn't exactly done right (but i don't want to be all knit-picky about it...) but usually you just slide it off instead of untying it. for a more detailed part on the knot you should check out emmymadeinjapan. she does a furoshiki bag tutorial, but the unwrapping part will be the same because she explains it

Love this green way of wrapping! As much as a gift bag, paper wrapping, tissue and bow costs, this would be more economical, too!

This is such a clever idea. I hadn't heard of furoshiki until today but I'm hoping to try this out in the future :)
I can watch it forever🎈Very nice and useful! Thank you!✨
I love this...so satisfying to watch on so many levels. Beautiful x
😊👍👍👍 V e r y n i c e 👍👍👍😊
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I LOVE this!
They're really good! Thought, I can hear myself saying to the recipient: "When you've opened your gift, may I have my material back, please?"
Personally, I would make it part of the gift. Wouldn't use a fabric on a gift I was not willing to give. :)

Все на основе квадрата?А вообще-класс.Век живи,век учись.Спасибо!
Oh ! Very nice and useful
Great video! Love the eco-friendly ideas! Can't wait to use em!

That's so handy! Next time I need a convenient carrying case, I'll just use a furoshiki. Save space, save money, save resources!
OH MY GOD. I've just discovered fukoshili and I fell in love with it!! No doubt I'll make fukoshiki a life-style...
J' adoooore 😍😍

thanx for making this video it has been like 2 months since I learnt wrapagami and I forgot a lot of the steps I learnt it during my CCA

this is such an amazing idea
esspecially if u give that present to a person that likes to sew so he/she could use it to make something:)
It would be hard to employ this except to other people who know how to do furoshiki.
What would they do with the cloth? Use it as a handkerchief?

is there any particular fabric to use? pretty interesting
Yea, I wanted to know this too. Did anyone tell you?
So clever, so beautiful, so very Japanese!
This is a great way to do something for the environment! Lovely!
Qué forma tan hermosa de empacar un regalo.
São lindos👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🇧🇷
Me ensine e faça um vídeo como embrulhar um bolo, quero dar de presente à um Doutor que faz transplante de fígado.
Gratidão 🙏🥰🇧🇷
That is so awesomely utilitarian.
it is so cool............ been looking for this video since my cousin ask me "is there an art for wrapping, like what i always see in anime does to there lunch boxes as they wrap in a piece of cloth"? thanks for sharing
These are so adorable!
Very clever! Simple is good!
oh. my. god. that is so awesome!!! It looks so cute!! xD But is the Furoshiki special for it, or can you use it with another cloth?
What if you only want to give them one book or bottle?
Genious!
Wow awesome
Super duper
Simply brilliant :)
Классные сумочки получаются за 3 минутки.
the bag is awesome!!!
So do you let the person keep the cloth along with the gift?
Hey, can you mention the size ?
Would it be rude to take the fabric back afterward for reuse? Or is the fabric part of the gift?
how pack one bottle and one book
that was awesome! i'm trying that out thanks! the video was cool and entertaining also.
Wow !!! 👌👍💖💖💖💖
AWESOME is right! I am truly inspired! I will simply have to find a way to make a video THIS GOOD about binary finger counting (this video make MY video look like absolute MUSH!) I am truly inspired (if that wasn't obvious).
lovin' the bag
How much fabric would you typically need for this?
holy shit she made a handbag out of a piece of cloth in just seconds, damn that's brilliant
What are the dimensions of the furoshiki cloths being used?
31.5 inches by 21.5 inches or 80cm by 55 cm

Could you please tell me what the dimensions of the cloth used to make the bag? Thank you very much.
Try with a headscarf and see what size you get, then adjust the square to get a bigger or smaller bag.
Мощно! Спасибо!
Это самые обыкновенные русские катомки . Правда же?
Nagyon nagyon tetszik nincs szemét és még plusz ajándék is lesz...:)
all really great ideas! thanx
I assume you'd use the method for "chocolates".
I wonder what is the recommended size for this
I tried it out on a 90cm by 90 cm furoski and it worked perfectly.
ДЯКУЮ!!!
@55fumufumu Really? You don't think that the Ancient Chinese, Egyptians, or Mesopotamians figured out that you can carry things around in a square piece of cloth?
Thats enlightening.
Also Stumbled :)
Ummm, no.. why don't you use a cloth diaper as well?
Reusable gift wrap... a.k.a. cloth?
Cloth is part of gift. Give those kinds to special people. Thank u for sharing.
wow! I love this technique.
u know that the environment is VERY important.and if you use a lot of paper then there is no more trees
Looks cute
This is amazing!!!!
Ide love to receive gifts in fabric as I love sewing so I could use it after .
yeah! gotta learn these....
КлАааасссненько!
How can you open (unfold) the gift?
By untying the knots! Simples. Much easier than tearing off sticky tape and string and you can reuse the wrapping for other things instead of throwing it away.
nice
Great and very cool ideas! :D
Thnks
Muy fácil! Gracias!
very cool!
To /amando !!!/ Muito/legal Obrigada Dalvacir .
@Chill050 Well, its not NASCAR wrapping paper so I can see why you hate it. (tongue in cheek) Furoshiki is amazing!
the japanese have a way of prettifying things. love it
Super!

they culd keep it as a bag.
Helpful! Thank you.
neat and easy!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thank you!!!
Nice work.
Did not like the music to hipper for the beautiful and calming video
You guys are seriously arguing on the comments page of a video about cloth gift wrapping. You are actually doing this. (I mean, seriously.)
this is amazing O.O
I think it's rude to take it back, unless the person returned it.
Again, "I think".
Not rude at all 😉
BEAUTIFUL, THANK YOU,TERE,BYE.
as cool as it is, i could appreciate the effort, i'd be scared of breaking the bottles cause i wouldnt' know how it was wrapped
I'm making that bag!!
i love it
風呂敷は自分で好きなようにモノを入れて持ち運べるからいいね。

@migasaguiar uh, it's wine. I'd receive some expensive wine any day!
very clever
