It's Furoshiki Friday!

Wrapping gifts is cool, but the more day to day use of a furoshiki is carrying things. Here's how to make one of several types of bags. I use a 100cm (35 in) piece of square cloth (the same size as a headscarf), and I use it to carry my laptop and lunch to the office.

1. Fold the furoshiki into a triangle so it is facing inside out.
2. Tie the two opposing corners into single knots.
3. Turn the furoshiki inside out.
4. Tie the remaining corners together with a square knot to create a bag.

That's it! This works great over the shoulder. Adjusting the length in step two makes the bag more or less open. I prefer this one with larger cloths when I want to put it on my shoulder, but smaller ones would make cute handheld bags, too.

Ein Weg, anderen eine Freude zu machen, sind Geschenke. Wir schenken z.B. zum Geburtstag, an Feiertagen, zu Hochzeiten. Wie können wir schenken und gleichzeitig aufs Klima achten?
