    Welcome makers, today’s tutorial we are making a ribbon fakaha’apai! I needed a fakaha’apai for a church dance number and could not find any information on how to make one. After studying the few pictures I could find online, this is what I came up with and I am excited to share it with you! Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel and give this video a like.

    Thank you! I need this for my fahu crew! They’re not traditional and more palangi so this is so helpful. They’ve done so much for my family. So it’ll be a great surprise! Really helps for the Tongan diaspora to connect to our roots. Mālō Aupito! 🙏🏾❤️✨

    Just a tip sis, fakaha'apai's are mostly made out of poly ribbon or ribbon that has a plastic slippery touch and is easy to fold. But besides that your fakaha'apai looks amazing!

    Thank you so much!!! I have been wanting to make myself and my 2 daughters one but it is so hard to get my mom and grandma to help these days. Especially since my girls are hafakasi palangi I still want to teach them our traditions and this something I can make with them and hopefully make it a new tradition for our family. Thank you so much!

    Malo aupito Megan! You're so right. I try to learn from my own but you have to have the patient to listen and the time to teach someone. Alot of the time it's like made fun of to ask some. But I moved to the States just before they started, including us younger ones to learn. The basics of weaving and making things. So, I missed out. But your videos help me so much, I'm truly grateful to you!

    I want to thank you again and hope that you continue to make your videos. Just an fyi....the part of the Fakaha'apai that you skipped (it was the part that goes between the flowers and the base)....those are single slip knots that alternate direction. I hope that made sense😊 Anyway, great work🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍❤

    This was a nice tutorial, just another tip, fold the accordion a bit smaller, maybe around half an inch. It’ll look nicer and have a better 3D shape :). Cheers!

      It is the household twine I use to make all my leis. You can sometimes find it at an asian market. I also linked it in the description box on Amazon
