Starbucks' first festival event "STARBUCKS SUMMER FESTIVAL 2017" DOME SURPRISE "" was held in Tokyo the other day. My Starbucks members selected by lottery were invited to enjoy the new product "American Cherry Pie Frappuccino" and live music.



Workshops such as coffee cocktail making and silk screen were also held at the venue, but the one I paid attention to was "ORIGAMI SLEEVE" . It is said that it is an eco-action to make a paper sleeve to attach to a drink cup with a furoshiki.


When I actually made it, I liked it so much that I wanted to tell someone, so I will introduce how to fold an obi that is easy to use for both men and women.

This time I'm using a square furoshiki with a side of about 50 cm. First, fold it in half three times to form an elongated band.


Fold it 90 degrees downward from the left edge to the width of the palm to make an L shape.


Place the cup on the corner and wrap the horizontal band around it. The trick is to wrap it at the bottom of the cup.


While holding the wrapped belt, remove the cup and wrap the downwardly hanging belt into the loop.


Insert the cup and fold the end of the excess obi into the obi sash to complete. If you raise it up, it won't fall! The image uses a tall size cup, but of course it can be applied to other sizes as well.




ORIGAMI SLEEVE is one of the eco-action projects started by Kyoto City and Starbucks in 2015. It seems that workshops are held regularly at Starbucks stores in Kyoto city, so if you are interested, please check it out.


It seems that the number of sleeves used in Starbucks a day is as high as 200,000. It would be nice if each person could reduce the amount used little by little by being aware of it. Above all, it's really fashionable if you make a quick furoshiki at the store. Please try it!
