PALM TREE
For making this gorgeous tree you will need to use both your hands and one foot.
1. Loop the string across
both your palms and
behind your thumbs and
the little fingers.
2. Pick up the
left hand palm
string with your
right index finger
and pull your
hands apart.
3. Now, in the same way, pick up the right
hand palm string with your left index finger.
4. As you pull your hands apart
you would have made the
Index Finger Base.
5. Now rest your fingertips straight down on the
floor and find the string that runs straight across the
outside of your thumbs. The string has been
indicated with an arrow.
6. Put one foot under all the other
strings and step on this one.
7. Keep your foot (and the string you are stepping
on) on the ground and pull your hands up a bit.
turning them so that your fingertips point away from
you. When viewed from the front it will look like
this.
