Dry the frond later
Barbara, who tried this technique, dried the completed,
plaited fronds in a warm dry place and
then lightly sprayed them pale blue for the
design.
STEP 1
Start with the three fronds at the very
top of the palm leaf and plait them, the left
over the middle frond, the right over the new
middle frond.
STEP 2
Take the next left frond
over the middle and pick up another left frond
from the main stem and put that over the middle
too. Pull them tightly for a tight
curl.
STEP 3
Now take the right frond and bring it to
the middle, take a right frond from the main
stem and put that to the middle too.
STEP 4
Do these
two steps all the way down plaiting the fronds
in. To finish, tie loose fronds off and
bind with binding
wire.
