IN-PERSON! Introduction to Weaving Handmade Coconut frond Hats—Pāpale Niu Instructor: Jesse and Pono When: 9am-noon, June 5, 2021 Location: MLC Palehua Nursery ***Directions provided upon registration Cost: $20 per person or $50 per families of up to 3 people The Pāpale (hat) Niu (Coconut) is woven in a style that can easily be recognized as characteristic of the Hawaiian culture. These beautiful trendy, open topped hats are a great addition to any casual outfit. The green pāpale will start to patina (transition in color) within a few days and be completely tan within ten to twelve days.) Though Pāpale Niu is commonly seen as a trendy accessory, it serves a vital purpose for aloha aina warriors by shading off direct sunlight and providing the extra protection from the elements. This awesome invention that was created by our ancestors can be worn by both male and females. The Pāpale Niu also serves as one of the beautiful gifts the Niu tree offers. With proper care this should last you many years to come! Please expect different variations on frond size, and color.
