Palm Weaving | Hanging Baskets From A Single Frond

On Long Caye (our private island on Glover’s Reef, Belize) we have so many water sports to choose from it might seem incredible that we would ever have time for pursuing crafts. And yet, we do (can’t spend all our time in the water). Witness the latest crafting craze to hit the island – palm weaving.

Our new kite instructor, Laia from Spain, recently took some time along with some of our other guests to explore some palm weaving ideas from our new book on the subject which Lucy brought back from Hawaii. Laia and Annelies wove some interesting hanging baskets which are fashioned from a single palm frond.

These would make excellent Christmas gifts, if you prefer giving something more personal than a gift ordered from an online store.
