Bojagi are traditional Korean wrapping cloths. They are used to wrap, cover, carry, or store objects in daily life, on special occasions, and in religious rituals. Koreans believe that bojagi can not only wrap an object but can also enclose bok (福, 복, good fortune or happiness). The act of making bojagi also carries wishes for the well-being and happiness of its recipients. 

One of the many uses of bojagi is for wrapping gifts, offering a meaningful way to include good wishes. A simple square or rectangular bojagi can be adapted to wrap gifts of various sizes. During the class, Youngmin will teach different wrapping techniques.

Instead of using wrapping paper or plastic, consider fabric bojagi as a sustainable alternative. Bojagi not only wraps gifts beautifully and brings joy to recipients but can also be reused again and again.
