Synopsis
According to Hawaiian tradition, leis are symbols of love and friendship, to be given to others with a warm embrace and a kiss. Unlike flower leis, which eventually wither and fade, ribbon leis are treasured through the years, gifts of aloha that can last a lifetime. For this reason, beautiful and everlasting ribbon leis are a popular alternative to flower leis in the Islands. With this first-ever easy-to-follow visual guide you can fashion your own ribbon leis from materials found at any craft or fabric store. Fifteen different ribbon lei designs are showcased-many are created to resemble local floral favorites such as pïkake, 'ilima, hinahina, firecracker and white ginger. Each design is described in detail with step-by-step instructions and colorful photo illustrations.
