Why Lei-Making Matters

Making a lei isn’t just about stringing flowers together, it’s about weaving in love, intention, and aloha. In Hawaii, we say that every lei carries the spirit of the person who made it. Whether you're crafting one for a graduation, a birthday, or just to say “I appreciate you,” the time and thought you put in makes it more meaningful than any store bought gift.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

This video walks you through the simple and beautiful process of lei making using carnation flowers and a basic needle and thread technique. It's perfect for beginners and shows how easy it is to create something meaningful with your hands. Just grab your flowers, string, scissors, and follow along.

Give It a Try

Even if your first lei is a little wobbly, it will still mean something. And that's the magic of it. Each stitch, each bloom, carries a bit of you—your time, your effort, your aloha.
