# LeafCraftPRO

> Handmade natural crafts and step-by-step tutorials woven from palm and coconut leaves.

LeafCraftPRO publishes free, hand-tested tutorials for weaving baskets, homeware and small gifts from palm and coconut leaves. Everything here is made by hand before it is written up, and every guide lists the real timings, the fiddly parts and how to rescue a step that has gone wrong.

The site is entirely static and has no accounts, no cookies and no tracking. Prices are shown in US dollars and orders are placed by email from the product page.

Every page below has a markdown twin at the same URL with `.md` in place of `.html`, which is what these links point to.
