Most of them are confusing and hard to follow, so I decided to upload my own making the steps easier to understand. Follow the video step by step and pay attention to the end if you want to learn how to make your own hat from a palm leaf. This primitive technology / knowledge is actually very helpful if you ever needed to fashion up a hat using the materials often found on desert islands, beaches etc. I will warn you now, it might take a few days or even a few weeks to learn how to make this hat well. It will take time and patience to fully understand the weaving of the hat. So dont give up if you cant do it straight away. I myself had to study videos like this and practice for 2 weeks before I could make my first respectable hat. So make sure to book mark this and watch it a few times if you want to learn how to weave your own palm leaf hat. Basic Instructions: Find the right palm leaf first, it must be very large and very clean. As time goes on you will see why this is so important. Measure the rough distance around your head with a string so you know how long of a section to cut, but remember to leave at least 2 inches on both sides. Usually the middle section of the coconut palm leaf is the best place to cut the palm leaf, and there is enough material to make up to 6 hats on 1 single leaf! Now cut that section is half and you have 2 perfectly usable portions for crafting your hat. Remember depending on which side of the leaf you are using the instructions may be in reverse. Trim down the crown section as shown in the video and begin to cut 2 small triangles in both ends to be used later to tie the hat together. Once you master the crown, you are ready to move onto the rim, and depdning on how many over and unders you use while weaving you while make a small or large rim. If you get past the rim without trouble you can now start to form the top of the hat which happens to be the most confusing and difficult part, so make sure to watch towards the end of the tutorial video so you dont miss a step on this crucial section. Make sure to tighten your hat weaving as you go to keep the hat firm and beautiful. If you like making things with your hands you should love making this hat. The geometry is beautiful and it will never end up in a landfill or destroy our planet in the process.
