  • Palm Weaving Tutorials

    By Anthony Parente

    One of the fascinating traditions that my family does for Palm Sunday is to create decorative designs using palms. I had an opportunity to sit down and learn how to create these beautifully decorated palms. I carefully wrote down each instruction and took pictures of the various steps so you too can learn how to make the same designs as my family. Don't worry if I could do it so can you.

    There are five tutorials to choose from. Each contains step by step instructions and photos to help you visualize the steps. I included a level of difficulty ranging from 1-5, where 1 is Easy and 5 is Hard. Have fun & enjoy!

    This tutorial consists of 6 steps. This pattern consists of 2 palms that are looped and weaved inside each other. When you are done you will have a flat braid similar to the one in the photo.
