Today, I learnt to make rope using cabbage tree leaves.
Step 1 - First we soak the leaves overnight to soften it.
Step 2 - Then we separate the leaves vertically at the spine.
Step 3 - We make a knot with the 2 halved leaves.
Step 4 - Twist the outer leaf 3 times away from us.
Step 5 - Bring towards us and repeat with the other leaf until you get to almost the end.
Step 6 - We can either make a knot or add more leaves to make it longer.
I really enjoyed making the rope. If i am stuck in the jungle, a rope will come in handy.
I hope you like my blog and have learnt to make ropes!
