• Take about 16″ from one Obi end and fold it in half (vertically).Hold this end on your left. Hold the other side on your right. • While holding left end, wrap the Obi around the waist 2 times. • Fold the right end to make a triangle shape. It should be narrower towards left. • Tie Left and Right together. Make sure to tie the way which the Left will come up. • Bring Left to the upper center and bring vertical line. • Open up the Right. • Bring the Right from the center to the right and fold to the front. • Decide the Bow (Ribbon) length and fold in the rest. • Bring down the Left over the folded Right. Slide the Left underneath the Right in the center. • Pull up the Left behind the Right. • Roll up the Left end towards you. • Insert the rolled up Left behind the Obi. Fix the Ribbon shape.
