"For the wine, she reaches for an unexpected wrapping material that is so ingenious that you'll want to hit the thrift store ASAP. "I love the Japanese wrapping method, furoshiki," Meghan said in the special. Furoshiki is a Japanese wrapping technique that calls for using square cloths to wrap and carry items instead of paper or gift bags. "You just go to one of the vintage stores that have the bins of scarves that are a few dollars each," Markle suggests."
"If you can't swing by your local vintage store, you can shop for furoshiki-appropriate wrappings online. Take these fabrics from Etsy, for instance. You can choose between various sizes and colors. And just think: You're technically gifting the recipient two gifts in one, as they can re-use the fabric to their liking. Meghan used some simple pleats to give her wine bottle wrapping a bit of flounce, and then she added a bundle of berries to the knot in lieu of a bow."
Furoshiki is a Japanese wrapping technique using square cloths to wrap and carry items instead of paper or gift bags. Vintage stores often have inexpensive scarves suitable for furoshiki and can be repurposed as wrapping material. Online marketplaces such as Etsy also offer various sizes and colors of fabric appropriate for this method. Wrapping a wine bottle with pleats adds flounce, and a bundle of berries can replace a bow. Using cloths as wrapping provides a second gift since recipients can reuse the fabric. Choosing cloth prevents non-recyclable wrapping paper waste.
