I think I'm very lame about wrapping gifts :-p And it's such a nice idea to use fabric! I'll try this for my parents' wedding anniversary :) It’s such a pity I came across your blog only after Christmas!

The assistants would wrap my "gifts" this way, but always so quickly and with such expertise I couldn't ever wrap my head around how they were doing this. Thanks for these instructions!

Glad to see you have featured it again. The pdf file with diagrams or many sites on the Net give the how-to and the scope of what can be done so simply with beautiful results. There is cloth made especially for this - and using one makes the wrapping a gift as well - but any piece of fabric can be used (and then used as a napkin at Christmas dinner!) It adds to the fun.
