Criss-cross the corners, pulling them close so that your Wrappr is tight around your yoga mat.

To start, lie your furoshiki wrap print side down on a flat surface and lie your rolled up yoga mat diagonally across the centre of your furoshiki

grab the opposite corners of your furoshiki wrap and bring it over your yoga mat

Next, grab the two corners that are parallel to the width of your yoga mat and lift them overtop of your mat.

Now tie those two corners of your furoshiki together, securing your yoga mat in place.

Now, make a handle for your yoga mat carrier by using the access fabric from those two corners. In order to do this, you will have to double knot the furoshiki at the tip of the fabric, creating a loop that is big enough room to slip your shoulder or your hand in.

Tuck the access fabric on the sides of your mat, you can create a knot with this fabric to secure it even further if you'd like.
