Dear friends, Palm Sunday is coming closer.
2
00:00:04,641 --> 00:00:08,203
And today, I am going to show you how to make a palm cross.
3
00:00:09,051 --> 00:00:09,822
Like this.
4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,433
The cross we are making
5
00:00:13,433 --> 00:00:16,748
has a focus on the square in the middle.
6
00:00:19,445 --> 00:00:21,792
So there are a few steps we need to do.
7
00:00:22,336 --> 00:00:28,034
First, we need to get some really good and fresh palms leaves
8
00:00:28,034 --> 00:00:29,280
and get them ready!
9
00:00:32,862 --> 00:00:34,650
So when you have them ready,
10
00:00:34,650 --> 00:00:36,000
trim the ends.
11
00:00:38,037 --> 00:00:40,880
And make sure you prepare plenty of extras,
12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,750
because I am sure you love making more than one.
13
00:00:47,527 --> 00:00:49,796
And second, we are going to fold it.
14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,305
Hold your palm leaf up like this
15
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:59,360
and find the halfway point of the palm,
16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,720
then bend it slightly,
17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,127
just take it out to the side
18
00:01:05,127 --> 00:01:06,986
and make it a right angle.
19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,440
So you are going to press it on
20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,000
to make a right angle.
21
00:01:14,865 --> 00:01:19,224
Then, you are going to take the bottom puff
22
00:01:19,224 --> 00:01:22,773
and fold it up like this,
23
00:01:22,773 --> 00:01:25,150
then take this top part
24
00:01:25,150 --> 00:01:27,212
and fold it back behind.
25
00:01:30,929 --> 00:01:33,499
And now you can see a little square, like that.
26
00:01:38,215 --> 00:01:40,560
So keep holding that there,
27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,880
and you are going to take the side now
28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,524
and put it around the back
29
00:01:46,524 --> 00:01:49,361
and keep holding it in place like that.
30
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:55,098
You are going to take this side,
31
00:01:55,098 --> 00:01:57,664
and you can see a little pocket there;
32
00:01:57,664 --> 00:01:59,370
thread it through that pocket
33
00:01:59,370 --> 00:02:02,535
all the way until it locks the square in place.
34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,538
The square now looks nice and tight like that.
35
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Now, to make the arms of a cross,
36
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,760
you take the side and put it back through the pocket,
37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,949
but not all the way at this time.
38
00:02:25,263 --> 00:02:27,852
It should be only a part of the way.
39
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,266
That is one arm of the cross.
40
00:02:37,877 --> 00:02:40,557
To make the other arm,
41
00:02:40,557 --> 00:02:45,040
we take this and fold it back,
42
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,620
just flip that behind like that.
43
00:02:49,061 --> 00:02:52,146
And now you can see both arms of the cross.
44
00:02:55,834 --> 00:02:58,394
To make the rest of it,
45
00:02:58,394 --> 00:03:01,597
you are going to take the bottom part here,
46
00:03:01,597 --> 00:03:03,466
fold it back
47
00:03:03,466 --> 00:03:08,109
and if you just take behind,
48
00:03:08,109 --> 00:03:11,926
so there is another little pocket
49
00:03:11,926 --> 00:03:14,384
that you can put that through,
50
00:03:14,384 --> 00:03:16,837
keep pushing it through,
51
00:03:16,837 --> 00:03:19,044
and grab the square through
52
00:03:19,044 --> 00:03:21,828
and then you turn you cross upside down.
53
00:03:26,141 --> 00:03:29,275
And here is your palm leaves crosses.
