Align your first ring with the vertical center of your furoshiki and an inch south of the horizontal center.

Tie a double knot with two of your furoshiki corners! This will secure them to the bamboo handle.

Now it's time to work with your second handle! Place it in the vertical center of your furoshiki and move it an inch north of the horizontal center.
