Weekly Wrap #3 - Kangaroo Wrap





This is my favourite wrap. I just love the pocket - a perfect spot to tuck in a cute little guy or use it as a functional place to hold your greeting card. This wrap is something you can't do with paper gift wrap making it unique to using fabric. It's also very quick and easy.

Weekly Wrap #2 - Carry your beer to the party


We went to a Halloween party this weekend and brought some beer all dressed up in an orange Furochic for the festivities. Place the wrap on a diagonal with the beer in the center of the wrap and bring 2 opposite corners together and tie a knot. The other two corners can be twisted before you tie a square knot to create a little handle. The gold foil on the beer looks great exposed so you don't need to worry about covering it all up. This is more of a chic carry case.

Happy Halloween!

Weekly Wrap #1 - Olive Oil Bottle



Welcome to the very first Weekly Wrap! I will be sharing with you the many ways in which you can use fabric wraps as reusable green gift wrap and as a handy everyday object. Each week a square Furochic will be transformed into a functional and beautiful presentation. Check back often for lot's of holiday gift wrapping ideas. I hope this is inspiring to all of you who love fabric as much as I do. 
Happy wrapping!

My Day Magazine

My Day Wedding magazine covered Furochic and Wrapagami in their Fall issue. Fabric wraps are fantastic for wedding gifts as they are luxurious and fancy! Try dupioni silk in the colors of the bridesmaid dresses and embellish with flowers from the bouquet for a personalized wrap that reflects the special day. The flowers can be tucked under the knot which will hold it in place. Silk is very enjoyable to work with as it drapes and gathers beautifully.
