To make a porotaka I used two strips of flax at
least 30 centimetres long.
The strips were both the same width.
First I folded strip
A.
Then I placed strip
B inside the fold of strip A.
Next I weaved strip
B around strip A.
Thereafter I pulled the four
ends tightly to form a square.
Then I trimmed the
blades so they are all the same length.
Finally when I finished making my porotaka, I pinned it to a stick.
