How to make porotaka

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.

First I cut a circular piece of thick cardboard about the size of a coffee cup.

Then I designed my circular piece of cardboard using different coloured crayons.

Next I pierced two holes in the centre of the cardboard circle about 1 centimetre apart.

Thereafter I threaded a piece of string through the holes. I tied the ends together into a sturdy knot, creating a large hoop.
