this project we’re gonna need to grab
this project we’re gonna need to grab three of the leaves off of a palm tree
three of the leaves off of a palm tree
three of the leaves off of a palm tree so check the branches look for ones that
so check the branches look for ones that
so check the branches look for ones that are green all the way down we don’t want
are green all the way down we don’t want
are green all the way down we don’t want them to be rotted and now if you just
them to be rotted and now if you just
them to be rotted and now if you just reach up and you grab beside one of them
reach up and you grab beside one of them
reach up and you grab beside one of them just give it a little tug and it will
just give it a little tug and it will
just give it a little tug and it will start stripping away and you can keep
start stripping away and you can keep
start stripping away and you can keep pulling until it breaks off all three of
pulling until it breaks off all three of
pulling until it breaks off all three of them very cleanly just like that each
them very cleanly just like that each
them very cleanly just like that each one of these palm leaves has a very
one of these palm leaves has a very
one of these palm leaves has a very rigid point at the top it’s all part of
rigid point at the top it’s all part of
rigid point at the top it’s all part of one branch these three different stems
one branch these three different stems
one branch these three different stems just came off in one go you hold them in
just came off in one go you hold them in
just came off in one go you hold them in your hand like this you can be a little
your hand like this you can be a little
your hand like this you can be a little Hawaiian Wolverine god we want to have
Hawaiian Wolverine god we want to have
Hawaiian Wolverine god we want to have all the ridges pointed upward so hold
all the ridges pointed upward so hold
all the ridges pointed upward so hold them also the ridges are facing up going
them also the ridges are facing up going
them also the ridges are facing up going to take these two outer leaves and roll
to take these two outer leaves and roll
to take these two outer leaves and roll them outward I’m going to fold them so
them outward I’m going to fold them so
them outward I’m going to fold them so that they make an X with the right leaf
that they make an X with the right leaf
that they make an X with the right leaf on the top and it should make a little V
on the top and it should make a little V
on the top and it should make a little V pattern on the inside with the top kinds
pattern on the inside with the top kinds
pattern on the inside with the top kinds of leaves they’re going to take the
of leaves they’re going to take the
of leaves they’re going to take the bottom one and we’re going to line it up
bottom one and we’re going to line it up
bottom one and we’re going to line it up with the leaf on the left the tines
with the leaf on the left the tines
with the leaf on the left the tines should be facing the same direction and
should be facing the same direction and
should be facing the same direction and holding them in place we’re just going
holding them in place we’re just going
holding them in place we’re just going to roll that leaf inward but then we’re
to roll that leaf inward but then we’re
to roll that leaf inward but then we’re going to lift it up and bring it on top
going to lift it up and bring it on top
going to lift it up and bring it on top and set it down over that middle leaf it
and set it down over that middle leaf it
and set it down over that middle leaf it should look something like that then
should look something like that then
should look something like that then from there we’re going to take this
from there we’re going to take this
from there we’re going to take this outside leaf and we’re going to roll it
outside leaf and we’re going to roll it
outside leaf and we’re going to roll it in gently and twist it back the other
in gently and twist it back the other
in gently and twist it back the other way like that so left to right right to
way like that so left to right right to
way like that so left to right right to left just gently rolling those leaves
left just gently rolling those leaves
left just gently rolling those leaves inward so from here we’re just going to
inward so from here we’re just going to
inward so from here we’re just going to repeat that process all the way down the
repeat that process all the way down the
repeat that process all the way down the entire length of these palm leaves if
entire length of these palm leaves if
entire length of these palm leaves if you give this little tug you can see how
you give this little tug you can see how
you give this little tug you can see how it tightens that up every now and then
it tightens that up every now and then
it tightens that up every now and then you might want to stop and just make
you might want to stop and just make
you might want to stop and just make sure everything is firm taking the
sure everything is firm taking the
sure everything is firm taking the outside leaves rolling them in and then
outside leaves rolling them in and then
outside leaves rolling them in and then placing them on top now that one you can
placing them on top now that one you can
placing them on top now that one you can see I actually pinched it I didn’t roll
see I actually pinched it I didn’t roll
see I actually pinched it I didn’t roll it properly but if you use your finger
it properly but if you use your finger
it properly but if you use your finger to press the back you can use your
to press the back you can use your
to press the back you can use your finger as a form to roll the leaf first
finger as a form to roll the leaf first
finger as a form to roll the leaf first and then you can place it over top and
and then you can place it over top and
and then you can place it over top and it makes a cool rounded shape instead of
it makes a cool rounded shape instead of
it makes a cool rounded shape instead of being pinched off you can see how that’s
being pinched off you can see how that’s
being pinched off you can see how that’s already starting to form a nice little
already starting to form a nice little
already starting to form a nice little headband shape at this point you can see
headband shape at this point you can see
headband shape at this point you can see it’s just about big enough to fit my
it’s just about big enough to fit my
it’s just about big enough to fit my head so all we have to do is tie these
head so all we have to do is tie these
head so all we have to do is tie these off and finish it up
off and finish it up
off and finish it up now tying off the lei is pretty simple
now tying off the lei is pretty simple
now tying off the lei is pretty simple we’re just going to gather up all the
we’re just going to gather up all the
we’re just going to gather up all the palm leaves in the same direction here
palm leaves in the same direction here
palm leaves in the same direction here wrap it around our fingers and then
wrap it around our fingers and then
wrap it around our fingers and then we’re just going to pull it through like
we’re just going to pull it through like
we’re just going to pull it through like a simple overhand knot you don’t want to
a simple overhand knot you don’t want to
a simple overhand knot you don’t want to pinch it too hard or it’ll break but
pinch it too hard or it’ll break but
pinch it too hard or it’ll break but just work the knot down until it’s
just work the knot down until it’s
just work the knot down until it’s secure now look for the hole at the base
secure now look for the hole at the base
secure now look for the hole at the base of the branch and take the knot and just
of the branch and take the knot and just
of the branch and take the knot and just push it straight through and we can use
push it straight through and we can use
push it straight through and we can use this now to size the lay to our heads by
this now to size the lay to our heads by
this now to size the lay to our heads by putting it on our heads and just
putting it on our heads and just
putting it on our heads and just figuring out the size that we want and
figuring out the size that we want and
figuring out the size that we want and when it feels like its size correctly
when it feels like its size correctly
when it feels like its size correctly just take it off take the knot and just
just take it off take the knot and just
just take it off take the knot and just tuck it inside one of these folds like
tuck it inside one of these folds like
tuck it inside one of these folds like so and that’s it now just go through and
so and that’s it now just go through and
so and that’s it now just go through and give your lay a little tug to work out
give your lay a little tug to work out
give your lay a little tug to work out any of the gaps and it’s finished and
any of the gaps and it’s finished and
any of the gaps and it’s finished and ready to go on your head now these
