This is my new design Palm Leaf bag or basket (different from first) that is strong and can last for years. How to make a coconut palm leaf bag. I use a voice over to demonstrate how to weave it from the beginning to end. I made this video as I was disappointed with the lack of helpful tutorials online so I hope this one makes sense. I am not an expert and this is partly my own design but I'm very happy with the result. Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Chanel bags etc are all made through cruel means, using cruel materials and I will not support unethical companies like them. These palm leaf bags are ecofriendly, biodegradable, ethical bags which are the perfect zero waste gift. I may consider making a palm leaf bowl next which can last 2030 years when kept inside. Coconut palm leaf hat would be fun too. Stay tuned!

My partner and I were both sick of the rat race, so 7 years ago we left our rather comfortable life in the city to follow our dream of growing our own food and living offgrid. We used all our money to buy 12 acres of rainforest in Queensland, Australia. We lived in a tent for the first few years. Initially we had no shower, so we bathed in the creek. We then made an outdoor shower connected to the creek. We had no toilet, so we made a composting toilet and attached a water sprayer. We had zero electricity until we got solar panels. We really wanted food freedom, so from the beginning we planted fruit trees, and a lot of them. I'm proud to say that we now have planted over 1,000. We used the bamboo from the land to build tons of primitive technology. In my late 30s I finally learned to make my own clothes, crochet, and one of my favorite skills using palm leaves from the land to weave into bags and mats. I was really growing, even my leg hair! But it hasn't all been wins. We've been set back by cyclones and by a one in 100 year flood. From poisonous tree sap that blistered me for weeks, anaphylaxis reaction to insect bites, to a cockroach making my ear its home in the middle of the night. But we are hooked. This is the life for us, and here we inspire you to also move off grid and grow your own food.
