1. Cut a piece of
harakeke (flax). |
2. Split the leaf down
the middle until the hard stalk |
3. Split each half into
3 even strips |
4. Take 1 outside
strip to fold it at a right angle and weave it under and over the other strips |
5. When you finish
weaving all the strips, turn the weaving 90’ and begin weaving again. |
6. Keep turning and
weaving until you have only short strips left. |
7. The pattern will
be a square. |
8. Thread the strips
through to the back. |
9. Hold onto the front woven piece
and turn it to make a spiral. |
10. When happy with the output shape,
tie the back strips tightly in a knot. |
11. Cut the stalk shorter if needed.
