A Pocket Guide to Hawaiian Lei Making
A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Flower, Crochet, Straw, Rickrack, Money, and
Shell Lei
by Judy Dela Cruz and Laurie Ide
A lei is more than just a beautiful adornment—it’s a timeless symbol of love, friendship, and celebration. In Hawai‘i, it’s a cherished tradition to give a lei for birthdays, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and special moments. A lei is often presented with a kiss, a gesture that carries the warmth of aloha, a wish of luck, or the spirit of connection. Traditionally crafted from shells, feathers, flowers, and seeds, the lei has evolved with creative materials like ribbon, fabric, paper, candy, and even currency.
This guide will teach you how to make your own lei, whether you’re using fresh flowers, crocheting with yarn, or creating intricate designs with origami and money. Learn the techniques behind strung leis, rickrack sewn leis, shell leis, and more! With easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step photos, this book offers something for everyone—from beginners to seasoned crafters. No matter the occasion, you’ll have everything you need to craft the perfect lei and share the spirit of aloha
