Simple How to make an obi makura tutorial

Yay! Another kimono tutorial. Today, we’re going to be making an obi pillow , or makura. A makura is used to “perk” up your obi for some knots.


Items needed:
1 medium hand towel ($1)
3 queen knee highs ($.50 per pair)
1 roll of sports tape ($1-$2)

Step 1:

Lay out your towel flat and cut it in half.

Step 2:

Take one half and fold it, then roll the folded half.

Step 3:

Put the roll into one of the knee highs. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other half of the towel.

Step 4:

Knot the open end of the knee high. Turn the knee high inside out and wrap (for the lack of a better word) the tube till there’s not too much slack stocking. Knot the open end.

Step 5:

Take the other knee highs and cover the ends of the tube. Then take the sports tape and wrap the tape around the tube, securing the two knee highs. Wrap till secure.

 

And vola! You have a finished makura!
