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.

Mahalo, Jalna!
nice! I have furoshiki in all kinds of sizes
You have lots of pretty fabric!!
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.
Great, Aunty!!
Very cool, Kat.
Thanks, Julie!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT !!
Anon, they ARE pricey. I have a few small ones that came from Japan.
