Furoshiki are square pieces of fabric traditionally used for wrapping. But you don't have to stop there. You can convert them into bags, scarves, headbands, etc. I have a lot of fabric that are too lightweight to be used to make totes, so I've decided to make some furoshiki with them.
I used the first method in this video to make the above bag.
This one shows how you can turn a furoshiki into a bag.
I love furoshiki! I always look for various sizes when I go to Japan because they make good gifts as well as wraps for omiyage. Only thing, they're kind of pricey, especially the chirimen type.
I like to use them for taking stuff like cakes, or non thermal/cold stuff to gatherings.
They even sell handles so you can thread your furoshiki to make bags.
