👜This is super cute and I really wanna make me one!👜
What does Furoshiki mean? Furoshiki is the Japanese
term for “wrapping cloth” and has roots all the way back
to the Edo period (we’re talking 1600-1800s here!) and was
born from their bath culture. People would use furoshiki
as a way to carry & store personal belongings.
We’ll be staying true to its original intent but taking
an everyday spin on it as a summertime purse.
You’ll Need:
a square piece of fabric (at least 26″x26″)
2 purse handles (you can stain them)
You’ll Need:
a square piece of fabric (mine was 26″x26″)
2 purse handles (I stained these darker)
1. Start with the back of the fabric facing up. This side will
become the inside of the purse. Place one handle roughly 1/3
of the way down and centered. Take the bottom corners of
the fabric and fold them over the handle.
2. Pull the fabric corners from the front of
the handle to the back.
3. Bring the two corners together in the front and
tie into a simple bow. Tuck the bottom corner into the purse.
4. Repeat on the other side of the fabric with the remaining
purse handle and corners. Fluff it up, arrange
the bow, and you’re done!
Note: I would recommend using a medium weight fabric
(think cheap bandana weight) so it is thin enough to tie
but thick enough to hold its shape. If you want to use a
lightweight fabric, use spray starch to help it have structure.
