How to Use Saltamontes Furoshikis as a Plastic Bag Alternative

Incorporating Saltamontes furoshikis into daily life is simple and rewarding. Here are a few ways to use them:

• Bottle Wrap: To carry a wine or water bottle, place the bottle in the center, tie opposite corners around the neck, and secure the remaining corners around the base. Perfect for gifting or bringing drinks in an eco-friendly, artistic wrap.
• Gift Wrap: For a zero-waste gift wrap, place the gift in the center of the furoshiki, fold and tie the corners into a decorative bow. The recipient can reuse the furoshiki, creating a memorable, sustainable gift experience.
