This one is for our toddler’s first Hawaiian dance performed for school recognition. Doting aunt bought a ready-made orange Hawaiian grass skirt for her. It was okay but I felt it was not what I wanted for her. Our toddler is bigger than most of her age and so during our fitting session, I knew the skirt was not hers. The straws were widely spaced and her undergarment could be seen underneath. I asked the more experienced moms in school if we can possibly do it ourselves and most agreed. So, I did watch videos from the net, although there’s only a handful really worth watching and reading, it gave me an idea on how to go about it.
MATERIALS:
Twine or plastic straw (choose the color you want)
Elastic band or garter
Yellow Duraflex twine |
Here's my labor of love:
