"If Marie Kondo inspired you to change the way you fold T-shirts, then artist Megumi Lorna Inouye's guide to creating beautiful gift-wrapping is for you."--BookPage, starred review
Drawing on the gift-giving traditions of her Japanese heritage, Inouye explores how the act of giving a thoughtfully wrapped gift can be a creative, caring act for both the giver and the receiver. Using recycled and repurposed materials, Inouye's approach inspires readers to think intentionally about the presentation of every gift, whether it's a tip for an unseen hotel housekeeper, a simple gift of fresh fruit for a neighbor, or a special birthday gift for a beloved family member. Detailed step-by-step photos teach Inouye's artful approach to every aspect of wrapping--including tape-free folding, paper and fabric bows, clever message tags, and one-of-a-kind approaches for odd-shaped items--and guide readers in creating their own unique gift presentations.Format:Hardcover
