Holiday season started and these days we are thinking more and more about the New Year's Eve and Christmas. And, of course, gifts for our family, friends, loved ones. I am always much more excited to see if I chose the right gift, whether it brought joy to my loved ones, than looking forward to unwrap mine.
Wrapping gift is almost as important as buying/making them. If you don't have time or inspiration to make something by yourself, at least you can try to be original with wrapping. It is easy to buy, but investing our creativity, imagination and time we show that we do care for others giving them a part of ourselves.
Recycled material is something I prefer. Here are some examples (and tutorials) how to wrap gifts with the material you can easily find at home.

I 've always loved book stores and at least once a week I spend some time in one of them, reviewing what is new, particularly on the shelf with crafts books. Few month ago I accidentally came across a book about furoshiki and was honestly thrilled with it. It is
the art of Japanese cloth wrapping and has been a part of daily life in Japan for centuries. It originated as a way to bundle clothes for easier transport, and evolved into the art. Official Furoshiki site offers comprehensive tutorials on how to wrap different items such as wine bottles, books and more. Some of examples follow:
