Weaving a headband

Here is me "trying" to explain, demostrate or what-have-you the process of making a "three leaf braided" headband. Let me know what you think and stuff (comments). BTW you can tell this was authenticamally made in Guam. There's chickens crowing in the background, and lowrider muffler to boot!

hafa adai! I live in Annapolis, MD, are you moving to Guam? :D Sounds exciting, I unfortunately have about 10 years left, before I return home. My home in Guam is in Agana Heights (it's the village where Naval Hospital is located), overlooking the capital of Hagåtña.

@Jamesbamba Oh geez. You're related to Glenn, huh. LOL I'm prob related to you too. I know I'm related to Bamba from Agana Hts.. I'm Lujan and used to live on Taigigao (across the street from the gym), but left back in '94. Go figure, I go to YouTube to try to figure out how to weave a necklace for my daugher's Tahitian costume, find this link and hear JD Crutch and I had to finish it out cuz he's my fav all-time artist. LOL Nice looking headband tho. Looks like a crown :D

@marielm77 Eeeeh ta'lo! lol. How can you tell, am I as kitan as Glenn? :) I'm always fascinated by the people I meet in my life that go "HEY GLENN!" and I always say "Nah! I'm the smarter one!" lol. Glad you enjoyed the music, I love me some JD Crutch and roosters crowing in the background haha. Esta!

Very interesting. I wish you had shown a good close up of the head band in the end, rotating it slowly so we could see it all around.

Cool, thanks for the feedback, I will definitely do that when I get back to Guam and do some updated vids!

I love this! I've been experimenting with braiding greens to use in flower arrangements and this is really pretty! I'm going to see how I can work something like this into an arrangement. Thanks!
