Palm Crosses - how to make Palm Crosses
1. Hold the palm horizontally.
2.
At about the half
waypoint fold the palm up towards the ceiling to create a ninety-degree angle.
3.
Take this piece and
fold it tightly down towards the floor. (Do not try to make the cross. At this
point you are making the square in the middle).
4.
Still using the same
piece of palm, fold it back up toward the ceiling.
5.
Take
the other piece of the palm and fold it across the square you have been
creating.
6.
You will now take
this same piece of palm and thread it through the small square you have created.
This square is at the back of the cross and you will see the right angle you
originally created in this square – thread the palm under this right angle
piece.
7.
Pull
tightly and you should have a completed knot that does not need to be held.
1.
Take
the palm that points towards the ceiling and fold it down toward the floor and
thread it through the square you have created at the front of the cross. This
will be the top of your cross.
2.
Still
using the same piece of palm thread up back up through the same square you used
in the previous step to create the bottom of the cross.
3.
Turn
the half made cross around so that the remaining horizontal piece of palm is to
the right. You should have a vertical square in front of you and a horizontal
piece of palm to your right. Take the unwoven piece of palm and thread it
through this square to create one side of the cross.
4.
Take
the same piece of palm and thread it through the same square you used in the
previous step making certain to thread it behind where you had previous
threaded. You should have a cross that still has some palm pieces hanging out
either on top and sometimes in the sides of the cross.
5.
Cut
the strands that do not belong in your cross.
