Furoshiki or tsutsumi is the traditional Japanese wrapping cloth commonly folded and used to carry items to transport clothes, gifts or other goods, as well as used as a fashion accessory. While the use of furoshiki waned in decades past, current trends to minimize plastic waste have reignited its use worldwide. Learn how to return to a more sustainable approach using past traditions by wrapping gifts and carrying good with fabric, AND use all the beautiful papers for origami!

Supplies

Square piece of cloth, in any variety of sizes (18-24 in., 28-30 in., 48-52 in.) may be used depending on items to be wrapped. A new wrapping cloth is included with the materials fee ($5), but folks may bring their own bandana or scarf to attend this workshop.
