Fun With Folded Fabric Boxes Book

Although origami literally means fold (on) paper (kami), you can apply the folding techniques to fabric. The decorative boxes presented in this book are all based on the traditional Japanese masu, a folded box that may have been used to measure rice. In this book you will learn some special techniques for folding these boxes from fabric. The fabric is stiffened using a fabric stiffener or bonded to paper or foil. No sewing is involved!

When someone gives a gift (miyagi) in Japan, the gift container or wrapping is often more important than the gift itself. You can learn how to make the true treasure from this treasure of a book.

This book contains 64 full color illustrations with easy to follow instructions.
