DIY Two Minute Summer Furoshiki Bag

In 2006 at the Olympic Games the Japanese Ministry of Environment had their athletes use “furoshiki” the traditional Japanese wrapping cloth. In a campaign for reducing waste!! If you would like to know how to use Furoshiki in wrapping, you can dowload a pdf from the Japanese Ministry of Environment.

If you want to make your own Furoshiki bag like the one pictured above, here’s how:

SUPPLIES:
- fabric square (mine was 41 inches  -104 cm)
- 2 hair bands (I used two elastics which I covered in the same fabric)

 HOW TO:
 I hemmed the seam by hand because I like that sort of thing. And then you just fold the fabric like this:

Now comes the hairband/elastic part. Take the 2 corners and thread them through the elastics. To create the bag handle, just tie the corner ends together. And you’re done. Total time elapsed: 2 minutes.

I use the bag for swimming, as it holds nicely all the towels and swim wear. For picnics it doubles as a blanket/tablecloth.

They also make nice gifts for little (and not so little) girls. They love the idea of a 2 dimensional cloth being transformed into a bag where they can transport their treasures.
