How are you packaging your food gifts this year? We've offered a few suggestions to wrap edible gifts, including using wax paper or paper ice cream containers. But for a really pretty (and practical!) presentation, wrap those gifts up Furoshiki-style.

Furoshiki (or the "art of wrapping with fabric") can be done with any square piece of fabric—a silk scarf, for example, or a tea towel. Presenting your gift this way is a gift in itself; the recipient can keep the fabric and reuse it.

I do wrapping Furoshiki style once is a while....my own Furoshiki version is using beautiful scarves and materials/fabrics...that are truly usable and with pretty prints...most of the time I make tote bags and that is my wrap...with pretty ties,of course. For Christmas, my gifts normally have a ribbon with an ornament they can hang afterwards.;)
