How to Braid a Palm on Palm Sunday

Okay here is my very first Catholic Inspired video!! My husband was shocked that I did this! I hate being videotaped, but my typical step-by-step pictures just didn’t seem to work, so I reluctantly decide a video was a must! My kids thought this was hilarious, and claimed I sound like a kid on video. I’ll admit, I do sound young…I guess it’s my inner child coming out!!  It was fun! 😉

**Note: Please don’t throw the scrap pieces into the trash!! They are blessed! The proper way to dispose of them is to bury them, burn them, or return them to your church so they can burn them and use them next Ash Wednesday. In our family we always placed a palm with a crucifix like this:

Storing palms until you can braid them

If you can’t braid your palms within an hour or two after Mass, place your palms in a zip-loc bag with a tablespoon of water, seal it, shake it, and place it in the fridge. That will keep it from drying out until you can get to braiding it! They should keep that way for a few days.
