Have you bought all your Christmas gifts and have you not gonna wrap it. Wait. I was stumbling the other night I find out about this fun and creative Japanese style gift wrapping system called Furoshiki. If you read my profile or my very first post you will know that I’m concerned about our environment.
Every Christmas we are using tons and tons of gift wrappers and worst is that when you are using metallic wrappers we are contributing to global climate change. Some Filipinas like my aunt usually keep nice wrappers, ribbons and other thing for re use but what if we follow this tip and other tips from www.recyclenow.com we may be feeling less guilty of the effects of waste in our environment.
You can use any fabric just watch the video or follow the instruction.

Geezz, it looks very easy. But isn’t a piece of fabric more expensive than a paper (gift) wrapper? Anyway, it’s worth the try.

OO nga eh sobrang dali di ba. I have a discussion with a friend that if you use a nice fabric like silk take it back if they will reuse it. Maybe just buy in in the Philippines like in Divisoria there’s lot of cheap fabric yung pang duster or kurtina. In Mindanao they have those batiks ba the one they use in sarong or punta sa fabric stores they have sometimes cheap retaso.
