For the end-of-year festivities, we offer a simple, elegant and truly practical alternative to disposable wrapping paper: a fabric gift wrap inspired by furoshiki. This Japanese technique consists of folding and tying a gift using a square of fabric. The result is a reusable gift wrap that looks beautiful, with no tape, no ribbon and no waste. The added bonus: with this sustainable, eco-friendly and reusable wrapping method, the fabric becomes part of the gift and can be used again and again.
For our version, we chose a 40 x 40 cm linen square, perfect for wrapping 2 Berninox toothbrushes. The same furoshiki fold also works for 1 toothbrush or a starter pack, simply by adjusting the positioning and the tightness of the knot.
Just below, you will find our step-by-step photo tutorial to create this reusable gift wrap in just a few folds.
Once unwrapped, the linen square can be reused as a table napkin, a bandana, a small scarf or as a new gift wrap.
