Sorry it's taken me forever to reply to this topic. I've been really occupied lately.

Could you please explain it to me? And on Mon, 13 Jan 2014 Chris Lott mentioned there are a variety of books in Amazon that might have origami wrapping techniques. Thanks Chris, I'm starting to think there aren't as many techniques as we initially thought. At least if we consider the following characteristics: -the gift is wrapped using exclusively the paper, the gift itself and the folds. -the folding process must include the very gift. -the folding can easily be adapted to the particular dimensions of the gift. -when unwrapping the gift you end up with the paper unfolded as well, or at least in the most part. For know, I've started to look for different techniques included in the Origami Database (boy I love that site), unfortunately -as usual- there weren't photos of those techniques. I made a spreadsheet with the models I consider that might be origami gift wrapping techniques because of there name. I include the name, its creator, the corresponding book, and the book's author. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhonAuMxn0ZidEpFczZSOGh1Q1FidlNPYmtvQjJrUkE&usp=sharing There's a book called "Gift Wrapping: Creative Ideas from Japan" by Ekiguchi, Kunio. Does any of you have that book? Does its gift wrapping ideas follow the four characteristics I mentioned? I would really appreciate any help. Do any of you have the other books or magazines mentioned in the spreadsheet? Could you please check if the particular model in the spreadsheet follows as well those characteristics? I would really appreciate it guys : ) Thank you so much for always being so helpful!
