Coconut leaf craft

in Steem4Nigeria • last year
Coconut leaves have different uses and it could also be used to make simple crafts. Yesterday, I participated in a crafts contest in Steemit and I enjoyed making the craft so much that I made two simple crafts out of coconut leaves instead of one.

In my today's post, I would like to share how I made the second craft which is a coconut palm watch. The watch can alternatively be worn as a simple leaf bracelet. When I was little and I did not have a watch, my sister used to make a watch out of coconut leaf and I used to feel thrilled with joy.
What are the things required?

🌴 coconut leaflet
✂️ scissors

How to make it?

First, I took a coconut leaflet and separated the blade from the midrib.

Then, I took one of the blades and cut two small 3-inch pieces from it.

After that, I placed the pieces in a crisscrossed way one over the other.
Then, I folded two small sections from each piece and took one of the pieces over the open fold, and made a loop for the other part.

Then I took the other piece and passed it through the loop to secure it. With the help of a scissor, I cut off the blades keeping only the square base. This would serve as a dial of the watch.

After that, I took the rest of the blade of the coconut leaflet and passed one end through the loop of the dial. The watch is ready to wear.

I gave the end of the blade a belt-like tapering shape.

It can be worn like a bracelet or like a watch. I bet any child would have a lot of fun making it and wearing it for the day.
