Hold the frond horizontally<\/p>\n<p>2. Bend the right end straight up from the center to form a right angle.<\/p>\n<p>3. Fold this same top strip, from the center, (a) back and down, (b) up and over again, to form a square at the back. It will still be a right angle at this point.<\/p>\n<p>4. Bring the left strip forward and fold over the center towards the right.<\/p>\n<p>5. Fold away from you and pull through the square at back, all the way.<\/p>\n<p>6. Bend the top strip forward and put the end through the center square to make a shaft of desired length.<\/p>\n<p>7. Fold left hand strip backwards and put through the back square.
