How to Fold a Palm Into a Cross

1). Hold the palm leaf and measure the length.
2). Trim with scissors so that the leaf is approximately 20 inches long.
3). Grasp the leaf so that it is oriented vertically. Hold in the center.
4). Fold about 7 inches of the top away from you and crease. Repeat with the bottom. You should now be holding a vertical piece of the cross about 5 to 6 inches long, with the folded top and bottom trailing behind.
5). Twist the top folded end to the right and bring back across the front, forming a side crossbar of the cross. Pinch tightly.
6). Twist the bottom folded end to the left and bring to the front, forming the other crossbar of the cross.
7). Tie a small knot, securing the right and left crossbars.
8). Trim any excess as you pinch, and press to flatten. Flip over to see the completed cross.
