1, material selection. Take a palm leaf and tear it along the vein, leaving 6 ~ 8 cm at the tip, and the two leaves should be equal. ?
2. Fill the head and chest. Fold the vein to the tip of the leaf, about 5 cm in half, to weave the head and chest of the grasshopper, with the reverse side of the leaf facing upward. ?
3. Weave the trunk and tail. Bypass the folded vein with either side of the palm leaf, then fold it inward, pull it out from under the injured leaf and tighten it. The opposite palm leaf also bypasses the vein folded in half in the middle, then folds outward, pulls it out from under the injured leaf and tightens it. After knitting two buttons, add a folded palm strip to weave the grasshopper's hind thigh. By analogy, the two palm leaves on both sides are alternately and symmetrically woven with 8 ~ 10 buttons, and then tightened to form the trunk and tail of the grasshopper. ?
4. Weave tentacles. Divide the remaining two palm leaves into three parts to form six palm strips, pass the two leaves near the head in front through the holes formed by folding the veins in half, and then tighten the veins to weave the antenna. ?
5. Weave the front legs. Tie the remaining four strands of brown strips diagonally, knot them separately, and cut off the extra parts, so that the grasshopper's four legs are woven. ?
6. Edit the hind legs. Tie the two brown bands on the grasshopper's abdomen separately (cut off the long part), and the grasshopper's hind thigh is knitted. ?
7. Make a system. Use an awl to make a hole in the grasshopper's chest from bottom to top, put a vein through the grasshopper's chest from bottom to top, and then pull it out and tighten it as a lifting system of the grasshopper. ?
8, finishing. At the time of editing, the grasshopper's chest and abdomen were flattened and needed to be tidied up beautifully. Hold the grasshopper's chest and abdomen down with your thumb, and the grasshopper will look fatter and more realistic. If necessary, you can also dip your pen in red watercolor and light the grasshopper's eyes. A lively grasshopper is finished.
