This traditional\u00a0practice originated from Japan during the Nara period and is known to use a piece of cloth to wrap or transport gifts and other goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To do furoshiki, all you need is a piece of square cloth. Common cloth sizes are 45 x 45 cm (17 x 17 in) and 70 x 70 cm (28 x 28 in). It is best to use a thick cloth with a reversible pattern.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">What&#8217;s good with furoshiki is you can add other ornaments and accessories to make your wrapped gifts more lovely.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Origami Gift Wrapping<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gift Wrapping | \u8056\u8a95\u79ae\u7269\u76d2\u5305\u88dd\u8a2d\u8a08+\u8056\u8a95\u6a39\u647a\u7d19\u6559\u5b78\uff08Step By Step)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KuPuFgfykUY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Take gift wrapping up a notch with some creative origami-style wrapping that will not only make your gifts look refined but also special.\u00a0This wrapping technique only requires a crisp sheet of wrapping paper, double-sided tape, and scissors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Japanese Gift Wrapping<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Japanese Gift Wrapping Tutorial\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nkbpj5ZONJk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For those who don&#8217;t like seeing bits of tape on their gifts, the Japanese-style of gift wrapping\u00a0is a fun technique that requires little to no tape at all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Compared to the usual gift-wrap method, this\u00a0technique\u00a0involves pulling and folding\u00a0on each side of the gift which is why it is also known\u00a0as the method of wrapping gifts diagonally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Aside from using less tape, another good thing about this wrapping technique is it works with\u00a0any kind of wrapping paper. You also don&#8217;t have to worry about the size of the wrapping paper you should use because the folding method will hide all the excess paper nicely.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Hand-Lettered Wrapping Paper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Easy Hand-Lettered Wrapping Paper\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lueJve54dnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">If you have no time to buy holiday wrapping paper,\u00a0hand-lettered wrapping paper is\u00a0another pretty simple yet appealing wrapping technique to try.\u00a0The things you need for this project are brown kraft paper and brush pens.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Depending on your preference, you can do the letterings straight or diagonally across the kraft paper.
