Instructions to Make
a Palm Cross
A palm frond about 1/4 inch wide and 13 inches long
will make an average size cross.
Pattern #1
|
1. Hold the frond horizontally
|
|
2.
Bend the right end straight up
from the center to form a right angle.
|
3.
Fold this same top strip, from the center, back and down, up and
over again,
to form a square at the back. It will still be a right angle
at this point.
|
|
4a) Bring the left strip forward and fold over
the center towards the right.
4b) Fold away from you and pull through the square at back, all
the way.
|
 |
5.
Bend the top strip forward and put the end through the center
square
to make a shaft of desired length.
|
 |
6.
Fold left hand strip backwards and put through the back square.
This makes the left crossbar and should be in
proportion to the shaft.
|
|
| 7.
Fold the right strip back,
put through the back square and fasten. |
|
|
 |
Pattern #2
This pattern is easier to learn,
especially when teaching children.
|
1.
Take a palm frond about 1/2 inch wide and 13 inches and hold
upright.
2. Fold the top down, away from you, and the bottom up,
away from you,
to form the shaft of a cross of desired length.
3. Turn the end down and twist around to the right and
across the front
of the shaft to make a crossbar in proportion to the
length.
4. Fold the end around behind the shaft.
5. Bring the end from behind, under the center. Fold from
the bottom
right to the top left and under again from the bottom
left to the top right.
6. Fasten the end through the back loops to lock.
