Lay a strip of kilt tissue on a horizontal surface. The folds should be done only in the central part, so that on each side there are straight sections about 90 cm long. The total length of the kilt with folds should be such that it can be wrapped in it a half times. The folds will be at the rear, and the straight parts - go to each other.
