1. Fold it into a triangle (the more square the original sheet the better the triangle will come out).
2. This is kind of tricky but you'll want to take the bottom corners and bend them up towards the top of the triangle while kind of gathering the material up into a "rope" so you can tie a knot in it. Don't take all the way up to the top but just short of it.
3. Now do the same to the other side. It'll look like this.
4. The tails will be about the length.

STEP 3:
Ok, first I should state that I'm spatially challenged, so it's probably mostly me, but I suspect there may be a few others out there also going "huh??"

Does it matter where the 'fold' of the sheet is w,r,t, the top and the corners you're bending towards the top?

Is the sheet oriented exactly the same in the first 3 pics or has it (or the camera angle) been moved ?

"2. . . .take the bottom corners and bend. . ."

"3. . . .now do the same to the other side. . ."

Should step 2 have said "corner" (singular)? If not, what other side in step 3?

Sorry, but I just don't see the pictures being in sync with the instructions (again, it might just be my 'spatial visualization' issues). If there are others with the same issue, perhaps you could include more pics, add some colored tape, or temporarily pin different colored cloth to the corners of your sheet so we can see where corners start and where they end up in the process. If I'm the only one, never mind and sorry for the distraction : )

Very nice! This will come in handy. Much better than the way I used to do it in college. Thank you.
