When you understand how to make a Hawaiian skirt, you can build it from any materials at hand.
Hawaiian hula
This type of skirt is the most common on the islands. In the original it was made and is still being made of palm leaves. But imitation will be enough for us. It can be a long Hawaiian skirt or a product that reaches the ankle. But if you want to show off in a mini, then no one has the right to forbid you. There is no strict framework.
The skirt can be made of Christmas tree rain, green raffia, multi-colored paper stripes, ribbons. To complement the image will help flower garlands, which are called "Lei". They are placed on the head in the form of a wreath, on the neck instead of beads. Small garlands that are worn on the ankle also look original.
Hawaiian bag skirt
It is not at all difficult to make a product such as hula out of garbage bags. What do we need?
Need to cook:
- scissors;
- nylon threads;
- Scotch;
- stapler;
- packages.
It is better to purchase trash bags in green and white. Choose those equipped with special ties.
Stages of execution:
- Take the bag and attach it to the body. Measure the desired length of the skirt. As a rule, girls in Hawaii wear items that open their ankles. Therefore, this length is usually recommended, as it leaves room for the imagination of men. Not too short skirts in dances look especially beautiful. Yes, and in the photo such an outfit will look more authentic.
- All excess is cut off with scissors. They also make many identical vertical stripes, which should reach the level of ties. One must be careful not to cut them.
- If you want your hula to look more magnificent, then make it from several layers. Just cut strips from several packages and at the same time tie them around a waist. So that they do not twist during movement, connect them with a stapler.
Colored corrugated paper and rope hula
We will need a rope as a belt. More precisely, in three parts we need to braid a pigtail, which we will tie around the waist. Around this base we will have the rest of the decor. First decide on the length. Measure the tailor’s tape from the waist to the bottom. Cut paper strips about 2 cm wide. Can be thinner or wider. The length of the strips is equal to the length of the skirt, plus another six centimeters. They will go to the eyeballs. Tie paper tapes around the waist. You regulate their quantity independently. Depending on how fluffy the skirt you want. The waist line can be decorated with a flower.
Satin Ribbon Product
Use a wide, bright ribbon as the base. Measure the volume of your waist and add 15-20 cm. The latter are needed to tie a beautiful bow. Such decor will make the image more flirty and youthful. Now, by analogy with the previous version of colored paper, cut the ribbon. Repeat the steps completely. When the product is ready, tie it at the waist. If necessary, trim the length of the individual tapes.
If you don’t need a too fluffy skirt, and you want to save on ribbons, then tape them to the wide belt, which is the base of the skirt. Instead of ribbons, you can use New Year's serpentine here. This is an inexpensive way to make a skirt. It is especially relevant if you need to quickly make a lot of products of this kind. For example, for a children's dance group.
Raffia item
This material for needlewomen will make the most beautiful and authentic Hawaiian skirt that looks like an authentic version. Raffia is a natural fiber of a palm tree or its imitation. Practically from the same raw materials skirts in Hawaii have been made for centuries. You can choose an artificial option. It is cheaper, but it looks more magnificent.
To begin with, under this thing you can wear shorts or a short skirt. So can modest girls who are not ready to bare their body. The thing that you pry under the bottom, choose the same color as the skirt. So she will not be evident.
The raffia hula skirt is made in the same way as all previous options. You can do such a thing in 20 minutes. Do not forget about the original decor. You can attach a bow made of the same material to your belt or attach a flower garland.
Fatina Hula
Fatin is better to get green, so that it resembles palm leaves. When buying, please note that tulle is different in texture. There is enough hard stuff. This will not suit you. He will be ridiculously sticking out and stabbing his legs. If you do not want to go and itch at a party, then choose a soft fabric that fits beautifully.
Work stages
- So, let's start by taking a wide elastic band. Its length should correspond to the volume of your waist. We start it.
- Now let's decide on the length of the Hawaiian skirt. We cut strips 15 cm wide. Length is the number multiplied by two, plus six centimeters per tie.
- Take the blanks and tie them around the elastic. Make sure that all strips are on the same level. At the end, you can trim the length with scissors.
