Gift-wrapping with a Japanese twist
23 Dec
Like I mentioned, I love promoting my friends’ projects and today I’d like to introduce you to Hello Sandwich’s Gift Wrapping Zine. It’s chock full of fun, kawaii ideas on how to take gift-wrapping to another level.
You could totally jazz up a plain-looking pressie with these simple tips and tricks that are very affordable and easy-to-follow. One of my faves is the Lawson onigiri card and confetti bow (she has a Craft TV episode on this) – choooooo kawaii! If you love design with a Japanese ethos, you’ll love this handbook. Click here for more details on how to buy this wonderful little zine.
For those who are not familiar with Hello Sandwich, here’s the who and what: it’s a Japanesey design blog run by Ebony Bizys, a sweet Aussie gal, who just moved to Tokyo. Though she’s only been living here for six months, her love affair with all things Japanese and design has been around the interwebs for several years already. By the way, she’s also my running buddy and we just signed up for a half-marathon next Feb — exciting! Early 2011 is all about marathons for me…
Back to Hello Sandwich: Ebony’s also got a Tokyo Guide Zine that takes you to off-the-beaten-path neighbourhoods with a nose for cute design in nooks and crannies. She also does personalized tours for those who don’t want to visit tourist traps in Tokyo. Rumour has it there might be a second Tokyo Guide Zine in the making – I can’t wait!
