[@anacletasteffen6405]

Aloha. Sooooo enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. Question: Once you fold into thirds and cut, what is the length of the strands? Also do you use all of one skirt to make the hip band?

[@2021mirandinha]

Thank for shared this video! I wonder if you have any other video showing how to start the hip band?

[@nivascanlan6314]

Thank you for sharing but how do you add the feathers in the middle pls?

[@EduardoCruz-rd3gc]

Thank you for sharing.

[@sammeefaapuna7503]

Where did you order the grass skirt to cut?

[@tinathurer]

please from where did you get the moré?

[@raeannaduque2490]

Where can we get some moré???

[@furycfury1632]

Can you start one from beginning

[@2021mirandinha]

Do you know how to make the hau rosettes? Please

[@tinakea3174]

Can you show how to start it from beginning please.

[@meleleaaetoa4131]

Can you use the grass skirt instead of that?

[@simply.melissa4367]

I think if you can't find moré you can use rafia. It just might be harder

[@nathaliedacion8660]

What is that called..?

[@miayanez7777]

Woow

[@akirabalaoro2903]

what kind of material did u use?

[@kumulehua]

moré (tahitian term) It's the inner bark of the hau (Hawaiian term) tree The fabric is just leftover scrap fabric. I try to keep the color of the fabric same or close to the color of the moré.

[@kw795]

What type of material are you using for this? Can you buy at a craft store? Can you use Raffia? Thanks

[@justiniantbh]

i don't know if you ever got an answer, but this is raffia! raffia is called more in Tahitian and hau in Hawaiian :) all the same thing!

[@anllaperra]

Que material es rafia??Donde puedo comprar ??🙏🏿

[@JK-zu3lp]

Hi so how long would you say this takes to make one belt?

[@cheesecake7375]

What string did you use?

[@kumulehua]

R Corn It's just leftover fabric of some sort. Usually an old bed sheet that we just cut up.

[@cheesecake7375]

Awesome thanks

[@nicoleh2977]

Aloha! Thanks for sharing your culture and knowledge! My question now is... to add feathers to this and fancy it up more, how is that normally done?? Like the long rooster feathers for example. Glue feathers to the fringe?? Or does it get sewn somehow?

[@kilipaki87oritahiti]

Glue is a no no. Sew. Some even use wire, but sew. I dunno how to do it personally tho. Some both glue and sow. But I guess as long as nobody can see the glue it’s fine...

Faster

[@ashleycharming4933]

Materials?!

[@RiahYannaBeans]

Ashley Floyd go to Michael's or hobby lobby and get a Hawaiian hula skirt. They have the grass ones

[@liakoroi4174]

request to my island friends if you can just make a hula costume for my daugter plzz

[@sonnydunnage2872]

Dutch instead of going to Tahiti to get them we can make them at camp

[@agneslaulu9228]

Request: next time it will be cool for you to wear proper clothes or cover your legs with an ie But the video was awesome 🌸💕
