✂️ Gift wrapping in Japanese style: Step-by-step guide
For this wrapping, you only need a nice sheet of wrapping paper. Ideally, metallic or silk matte paper that is easy to fold and gives the gift an elegant look. You can use tape sparingly – or leave it out completely if you fold neatly.
Tip: Make sure that the paper is large enough to fully enclose your gift – better to choose a little larger. It works best with a symmetrical shape, such as a book, box, or cosmetics set.
🧾 You will need:
- Wrapping paper (not too thick, easy to fold)
- Optional: double-sided tape
- Ruler (for precise folding)
