RECYCLED GIFT WRAPPING

Furoshiki gift wrapping technique is an art in Japan and 100% reusable!  I discovered Furoshiki during one of my recent visit to Japanese Town in downtown Los Angeles.    This is a creative gift wrapping alternative  and a great way to help save our planet by reducing the use of plastic or paper bags.  Here's a step-by-step video that I found from www.ohcrafts.net to show you just how easy it is to learn Furoshiki techniques!
