Furoshiki 2: Have Earth; Want to Keep It!!

Ok, let's face it, the Earth's headed down the crapper and the only thing that will give clean environmentally safe energy is either the room temperature fusion thing or steam turbines driven by quantum-entangled 'bricks' who's counterpart is parked about .95 AUs away from the sun. Personally, my money is on the quantum-entanglement concept. But till then, I can at least help you stop using those bags at the store (both plastic and paper) and keep you from getting slapped (I hope). Save the environment and slap someone

This main bag also has smaller bags attached to the side that will keep smaller items from ending up on bottom.

Step 1 Gather up cloths...

The cloths that I use are mostly rejects/clearance/remnants from local stores.
The blue cloth below is 3 feet on each side and I put it together myself. The smaller cloths are napkins and measure about 13 inches on a side. If you are looking at how big you can make one of these, you can view my first Instructable here ( Furoshiki 0 ); that one was about 7 feet and it made a HUGE backpack. This one will be perfect for the store trips; big enough to carry everything and small enough to carry around easily.

okay, it is now September; time to start thinking about the annual Christmas/Holiday gift-packaging.... Let's all Furoshiki in lieu of disposable giftwrap! Since headscarves and neckscarves have become sort of _retro_ in fashion circles, they are abundant at thrift stores and garage/yard sales. Even the beautiful _pure silk_ ones. Let's start a trend?!? I'm not a chain-letter proponent, but a signature line in your individual emails ---with a link to this instructable--- might support such a trend.

Another excellent instructable, but thanks to you I now have a 'Japenese cloth bag thingy' obsession.

thanks. there are worse things to be obsessed with...for instance para-sailing without the 'para' or the 'sail'.

Hmmm, that could be a problem...
