Recommendations for Tenugui Towel Wrapping for the Holiday Season
Christmas is approaching. It is fun to prepare gifts for this and that, but it tends to be a bit of a pattern. With tenugui towels, there is no need for ribbons or tape! Paper wrapping is beautiful but difficult, and cloth wrapping, which can be redone, is recommended for clumsy people. Another great and sustainable point is that you can use them as tenugui towels for multiple purposes after giving them as gifts. In this issue, we will introduce four ways of “tenugui towel wrapping” that will take your gift to the next level.
Case1: Bottle wrapping
Shape of item to be wrapped / Recommended items｜ Juice, beer, wine, sakeApproximate bottle size｜ Small bottle 350ml / Large bottle 750ml
Tenugui towel is very compatible for wrapping long and narrow shaped items, and is perfect for wrapping wine bottles and other such items. By wrapping with cloth, the fabric can be aligned so that it is stable and fits bottles of various shapes. You can also enjoy arranging mini bottles by wrapping two bottles. It also removes water droplets from cold bottles, making them easy to carry.
Case 2: Small box parcel
Shapes of items to be wrapped and recommended items
Mugs, candles, jam jars, tea tins,
Approximate box size｜10cm (W) x 10cm (H) x 10cm (D)
This wrapping method is recommended for small boxed items such as mugs, a standard gift item. It is surprisingly difficult to wrap small boxes, but by taking advantage of the length of the tenugui cloth and making the edges “jambara”, you can create a gorgeous decorative wrapping.
Case3：Box case with handles
Shapes of items to be wrapped and recommended items
Candy, glass pen set, seasoning set, Stollen
Approximate box size｜15cm (width) x 6cm (height) x 6cm (depth)
Simply wrap the long, narrow box, twist and tie both sides, and you have a gift with a handle! Convenient for carrying and handing out as is. It can be used for a wide range of items, from sweets to stationery to cutlery. It is also a stylish way to wrap Stollen, an indispensable Christmas gift.
Case 4: Box wrapping - two large boxes are used
Shape of item to be wrapped and recommended items ｜ Plates, cutlery sets, toys, clothes
Approximate box size ｜ 23cm (width) x 5cm (height) x 23cm (depth)
Large items such as toys, containers, and clothes cannot be wrapped with tenugui towels... In such cases, we recommend wrapping them with two pieces of tenugui towels. Easy without sewing! You can wrap large items just by overlapping tenugui towels, and you can also enjoy matching the patterns of the two tenugui towels.
Tenugui wrapping is ethical and can be used repeatedly. Why not try wrapping with tenugui towels this winter?
