Program Description

The Online Furoshiki Fabric Gift Wrapping Course introduces participants to the traditional Japanese technique of wrapping gifts and everyday items with cloth. Designed for individuals interested in sustainable packaging alternatives and textile crafts, the program provides clear instructions for beginners as well as craft enthusiasts looking to expand their wrapping skills without requiring prior sewing experience.

The curriculum covers fabric selection, sizing rules, and core knotting techniques such as the single and double knot. Instruction details step-by-step applications for rectangular boxes, square packages, books, wine bottles, and irregularly shaped items, as well as methods for packaging multiple small objects together. Additional modules demonstrate everyday uses for furoshiki cloths as transport bags, lunch wraps, and accessories, accompanied by instructions on how to sew a custom furoshiki wrap.

Delivered through a self-paced e-learning platform, the course comprises over 30 modular video lessons alongside three downloadable reference guides detailing knot names, history, and fabric dimensions. Enrolled participants receive 12 months of access to all instructional videos, regular updates, and seasonal wrapping modules for flexible independent study.
