1. Lay the furoshiki inside up as a diamond, corner A pointing at you. B points right, C away from you and D left.
2. Fold corner C (far) down onto corner A (near) to make a triangle.
3. Fold the triangle over and over from the point into a band. Stop when the band is about 6-8 cm wide, with B and D as pointed tips at the ends. You should now see a long band with B at one end and D at the other.
4. Wrap the band around your waist from the back, ends to the front. Hold B in your left hand and D in your right, crossing at your centre front.
5. Tie B and D once at your centre front. Pull snug so the band sits flat; let both ends hang down. You should now see the band round your waist with 2 ends hanging from one tie.
6. Twist B and D together into one tight rope. Twist in one direction all the way to the tips.
7. Coil the rope around the tie and tuck the tips under the band. You should now see a round rosette sitting on the front of the band.
8. Slide the belt so the rosette sits at your centre front. You should now see a smooth sash with a rosette at the front of your waist.
