Instructions to make a simple bio degradable ipu whenua i
- 1. Instructions to make a simple bio-degradable Ipu Whenua. Carole Wheeler Midwife [email_address] www.ipuwhenua.weebly.com
- 2. Ipu whenua, container for a placenta (whenua) for return to the earth (whenua).
- 6. Cut off the handles and soak the kete in hot water to soften, I add a little fabric softener. Drain after about half an hour. I pre-soak bags for antenatal classes.
- 7. Reshape the kete into a basket shape. Turn the top of the bag inwards and shape it how you want it to be when dry, it can be rectangular or boat shaped, flatten the base.
- 8. There is no right or wrong! As long as it ends up container shaped it will be fine!
- 9. Either turn in the corners of the base as shown or leave them sticking out for a more boat shaped base.
- 10. Shape the other kete into the lid, turn the top of the bag in as far as the bottom of the bag and flatten it.
- 11. Now you have the top and base, it will be a tight fit at this stage whilst wet, but when dry (in 2 or 3 days) it will be soft and you will easily be able to put the lid over the base.
