Orange and Sunshine Yellow Lei

This Lei is named: Orchid Lei.  It is made for my God Daughter in her favorite colors. The ribbon size used for this lei is 5/8" wide except for the "spikes" which are 1/8" wide ombre green color.  This lei has a spiral effect. Orange and Yellow colors used for this lei.  There is a combination of sheer and solid satin. Finished lei length is 42" long.  

If you wish to make one for a special event, instructions can be found when you visit the island of Hawaii (Oahu) - refer to the name of this lei for instructions.  Check out the retail store and schedule lessons at U'I Mau A Mau LLC.  They do have a website: www.uimauamau.com. There are many types of lei samples on their site but in person hands on instructions are a must in order to complete the first lei.  But if you can't make it to the Island and live on the West Coast, contact  Chris Tanizawa at ctanizawa@gmail.com for FREE lei making classes in Union City, California. She has various lei kits for purchase and has a schedule for her classes but may not have this specific lei style.
 A closer look:
 A closer look at the single row: see the yellow row that is "twisting" on the lei.
Thank you for stopping by today. Have a crafty day!
