The Lotus
(Rubber Band Tech
The lotus look can be easily achieved with a rubber band. Simply gather all four ends and tie a rubber band or hair tie around them. After that, arrange the ends in the lotus design of your choice. With just a single 'knot', this technique offers a quicker alternative for gift wrapping while maintaining the attractive appearance.
This wrapping technique is primarily used for square items, but it can also be applied to items of different shapes.
How to Fold the Lotus, Using a Rubber Band
The diagonal length of the cloth should be approximately five times the length of the item to be wrapped.
However, this ratio can vary depending on the height of the item. For a particularly tall item, a larger piece of cloth may be required for this wrapping technique.
Spread the cloth in front of you, with the side that should be visible in the finished wrap facing downward.
Then, ensure that the item is placed exactly in the center of the cloth.
Bring all corners together and secure them with a rubber band or hair tie.
Arrange the corners to resemble a lotus, and enjoy the simplicity of achieving this beautiful look!
