The experience of the theme that I will bring if it passes later is making handicrafts from coconut leaves or something like that. Here I want to tell you that I have a talent in weaving, maybe many also ask me to teach it. I learned weaving from my grandmother, grandfather, older sister and mother. Then through technology, I also often learn self-taught on YouTube so that I can develop talents in the handicraft section.

While my experience about the theme that we will bring this time is that I will help as much as possible my best friend in the craft discussed that is making handicrafts from leaves such as handicrafts from coconut leaves or seumpanya. I often follow him in making such handicrafts such as making hats, baskets to the base of the clothesline from coconut leaves. Hopefully, the experience I gained can support him to become an assistant to this teaching team.
It is from this basis that I will raise the theme. Because coconut leaves are one of the materials that we often encounter in the world, but if there are no coconut leaves can be used palm leaves or the like, we know that from this simple leaf can create a lot of crafts that can be made, for example grasshopper decorations from coconut leaves, mini baskets, even to traditional hats, with this seumpa craft will certainly hone creativity, but not only that but also useful for preserving local wisdom.
Handicrafts like this are not only limited to ornamental art, apart from environmentally friendly materials but also easy to obtain, so it is a suitable choice for educational activities and hobbies. We are here to teach the techniques of making handicrafts from coconut leaves or the like even from the basics of making to advanced creations. In the spirit of sharing knowledge, we plan to introduce creative ways to transform coconut leaves into valuable works of art, whether for display, gifts, or small useful tools.
We will also provide some videos that support this kind of handicraft. Here are the videos:
Note: We have thought for countries that do not have coconut leaves, you can replace them with palm leaves or similar. If you can't find leaves similar to coconut leaves, you can practice with woven plastic rope or paper. |

Whoa! It’s amazing and make me nostalgic. I love your videography too. I just love craft of leaves. When I was a kid I used to make glass, watch, ring, flower, cups using cocount and jackfruit leaves. Want to learn more creative craft of leaves. I hope you will be selected, inshallah.
Hehehe really makes you nostalgic. I'm glad to hear it. Thank you for your support, wish success to all of us.
Nice, I can see you also did something exciting when you were a kid.
Eyy chicos, me encanta su propuesta, tejer con palmas es un arte, en especial tejer esos sombreros tan bellos, quiero aprender, así que ya tienen una participante. Me entusiasma esta propuesta, un abrazo desde la distancia, bendiciones.
Wesss, that's cool. It hasn't escaped yet, but there has been a difference. Makes us happy and full of excitement. Thank you for your support, wish success to all of us.

Amen, thank you very much, friend. I'm glad you came along and gave your support.
The designs you have woven using coconut leaves are so unique. They are truly beautiful. I also see the advantage of this that anyone can make such designs without any additional cost. I think a course like this is needed for season 22. All the best dear ❤❤
