How to Fold the Futatsu Tsutsumi - Step 1

Ensure that the item you wish to wrap is no more than 1/3 the diagonal length of the COVER you're using.

This rule, however, depends significantly on the height of the item. For particularly tall items, the cloth should be even larger to effectively employ this wrapping technique.

Arrange the item along the diagonal axis of the fabric, ensuring that the space around it is evenly distributed.
