The furoshiki is a square cloth used for wrapping gifts, food and for transporting items.

Take a look at the links and you will learn how to elegantly fold fabric to wrap gifts that will impress everybody. Too-Much-Fabric-Syndrome ~This will help you get rid of fabric without any guilt!

Copy and paste this to see various wrap instructions- this is really interesting!

Thanks so much for calling this to our attention & for the great links. Maybe we can practice the wrapping techniques on bandanas until we get our own furoshikis sewn! 7/23/10 11:50 AM

They weren't expensive and being easy to tuck in your suitcase, are the perfect souvenir. I was shOwn how to tie them into a little purse- very clever. 7/25/10 11:56 PM
