This is an instructional video on wrapping two identical objects in a very fashionable way. This will be a great way to carry two objects from the library!
Description
The video is designed as a supplemental hands-on material for teaching Japanese culture to elementary to junior high school students. This material was prepared by the East Asian Library at the University of Kansas.For more information about furoshiki, please visit: <http://guides.lib.ku.edu/content.php?pid=574816&hs=a>.For this tutorial, you will need:• A furoshiki, we recommend a softer, flimsier material (with a cute patter)
• Two identical, flat objects such as books or DVDs. This doesn't need to be the exact same pieces, but relatively similar in size. On how to wrap this:1. Spread out the furoshiki with the patterned side underneath and spread it out into a diamond shape from where you are doing this.
2. Place your two objects in the middle of the furoshiki with a little bit of a wiggle room, about the size of your pinky, in-between.
3. Flip one of your objects once away from the middle. Cover the object with the corner of the furoshiki and fold the excess underneath the object you are wrapping. And flip it back to its original position in the center. Now do this with the other object.
4. Now take the bottom piece and the top piece of the cloth and bend them to cross over each other.
5. Fold one of the objects to sandwich the two top and bottom pieces.
6. Take the bottom and top tails that are coming out of the sandwich and make a mamusubi or tie it twice two make the handle.Directions to tie a basic furoshiki knot (mamusubi):
