The Japanese art form of wrapping gifts with a piece of fabric makes perfect sense and creates such a beautiful presentation; it makes us wonder why we haven’t been doing this all along.
Thanks to lifestyle buzz words like ‘sustainability,’ ‘eco-savvy’ and ‘green,’ ditching the paper for cloth has become a chic and stylish gift wrap alternative. Furochic cloth gift wrap ($12.95) from Jenny Wren Paperie is a super sweet way to present chocolates to our Valentine or dress up a Barbie doll for the next birthday party.
Based in Victoria, owner and designer Jenn Playford infuses nature with Asian flare in her Furochic patterns. Offered in 12 prints, each package of Furochic wrap has a 27” square piece of fabric, a matching gift tag and a guide showing 10 wrapping techniques.
And talk about reusable, Jenny Wren Paperie offers great ideas on re-purposing our fabric: make a purse, use as a scarf, adorn a pillow or hang it on the wall.
No more fumbling with tape, even the most awkward of gift wrappers can master this artistic endeavor.
