How to Make a Bindle Stick
- 1). Find the appropriate stick for your bindle. Your stick should be sturdy and at least a yard long. Tree branches are most frequently used, especially willow saplings. Old broom sticks can also be used.
- 2). Lay your handkerchief on a flat surface. Place all the contents you wish to carry in the center of the handkerchief. Leave at least 3 inches of fabric free around the sides of your handkerchief so that you can tie it.
- 3). Lay one end of your stick down the center of your full handkerchief. Tie the top right corner of the handkerchief to the bottom left corner. Tie the top left corner to the bottom right corner. Tie the knots around your stick. This will attach your handkerchief to your stick and complete your bindle stick.
