I boiled them for about 40 minutes give or take. You might need to boil them for a bit longer, I am hoping to do the whole thing again from the start as I didn't get any fibers.
Thank you, though there are others who are more experienced - I am still learning. If you have banana fibers you need to go to the places that people purchase from, maybe Amazon or your local markets - you will have to do some research to find out - good luck.
Wow. Thank you let me try
Try it, I think there are easier ways, to do it, haven't perfected this way yet. Let me know how you get on. Thank you for your visit.
I look forward to seeing this incorporated into your artwork!!
Me too! I brought some from the store and it was lovely to spin so if I can harvest my own fibers will be great.
😍
Can plantain stems be used in place of banana stems?
I believe so, never tried, let me know how you get on :)
do u have a video on how to make the banana fiber into hair, and how to soften the fiber as a smooth strands to make a hair wig.?
No it is not something that I have tried, but would be interested to see if you are successful - try Mr Google..
Can I ask for how long did you boil it?

@@CreativeGardenr what is the name of the machine you use
@@mandelalago4371 I didn't use a machine, I did it all by hand, I need to try it again though as I didn't get the fibers I had wanted to.
what kind of banana?
Not sure of the variety we have, but you can extract the fibers from all bananas.
How can I learn this ?
Do a search on TH-cam there are a few videos on how to extract the fibers that you can check out
@@CreativeGardenr what country you from in case one day I travel I can meet up with you if you..
