Materials for manufacturing
Hawaiian skirts are easy to make. When creating this wardrobe item, you can use almost any available materials.
Many fashionistas, when preparing for the carnival, use maximum imagination, creating a skirt from the most unusual items.

Step-by-step instruction
The process for working with these options is identical.
From Christmas tree rain
First, let's make a skirt from a Christmas tree decoration.
New Year's rain consists of thin bright threads that are attached to a wide strip. Cut off this strip, leaving only shiny threads. Measure your waist size and cut off the required amount of elastic. We sew the ends together using thread and needle. This The elastic band will act as a fixation of the finished product at the waist.
The Hawaiian national skirt can have different lengths. They can be knee-length or floor-length. Using a sewing meter, measure the required length. It is recommended to trim the rain after assembling the skirt.
Let's start the creation process.
Fold one ribbon and tie it into a tight knot on the wrong side of the elastic. We fasten all the threads in the same way. It is recommended to choose rain in bright colors with a shiny texture: green, blue, yellow, silver.
Advice: to add fluffiness to the skirt, the rain can be secured in several layers.
From fabric
Working with tulle or satin is completely identical. We cut long strips of the material, the width of which is about 10 centimeters. Using an elastic band, measure your waist circumference and cut it off. We sew the ends by hand. We fold the strips in half and tie a strong knot on the wrong side of the elastic.
Advice! For more comfortable work when tying, it is recommended to place an elastic band on the back of the chair.
You can leave one layer of ribbons. Then the skirt will allow you to slightly open your legs during fiery dances. For greater volume, add several layers of ribbons, tying them in the same way.
With floral belt
A bright decoration in the national style will be a belt of flowers at the waist. To do this you will need lush bright flowers and glue. The strap can be made as an additional decoration. To do this, buds are glued to an elastic band, the finished wreath is placed on the belt, at the base of the skirt. The buds themselves can also be glued to the skirt itself.
