The outer green skin is removed from the stalk. The inner pith of the plant is cut into long thin strips and these strips are pounded to break down the fibers and then soaked for 3 days in water until the pith is clear and pliable.
The strips are cut to length and laid, overlapping, on a piece of Cotton fabric. Two layers of strips, one horizontal and the other vertical are used.
