First wrap the sarong around your back and then over your chest, now twist the ends once and take them behind your neck. Now, tie a knot to secure the ends. You can avoid twisting the fabric to create another style. Another way to make a dress out of a sarong, is to wrap it around your torso, like a towel. #2 - Long Skirt To tie the sarong into a long skirt, simply hold the sarong at your back, and wrap it around your waist. Now, tie the ends together with a knot. The look will change depending upon the position of the knot, which can be in front, sideways, or at the back. #3 - Short Skirt For this style, you can use a half sarong, or fold the long sarong in middle, to reduce its length. Wrap it twice around your waist, then secure the ends near your hips using a knot. Another method is to fold the sarong diagonally into a triangle and tie it securely around your waist. Smooth out the ends to complete the look. #4 - Scarf To make a cool headscarf, take a sarong and place it over your head, and hold it at an arms width, with both your hands. While holding the sarong take it back and make a twist, keep twisting. Then make a knot, and leave cloth falling on your back, or place it over your shoulder. #5 - Jacket Hold the sarong in front of you diagonally, and fold it in half width wise. Now tie a small knot at the fold. Take one bottom corner and tie a knot around the knot, which you previously made. Repeat with the other side. Now slip your arm through the opening and you have a colorful sarong jacket. You can wear it open or tied shut at the middle. These were five different ways of tying a sarong.
