Sweet Petunia Lei for a Ballet Recital

This Lei is named: Sweet Petunia Lei to be given to my Grand Niece who is a participant in a Ballet recital. The ribbon size used for this lei is 3/8" wide metallic edge lavender and pink pastel colors except for the "spikes" which are 1/8" wide metallic edge lavender and pink color combination. Finished lei length is 38" long since it is for a 9 years old.  

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 the lei.  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 maybe not this specific lei style.
 Here's a closer look at the lei:
