Instructions for making 20 individual leis include close-up photographs showing the intricate patterns and combinations of colors that create permanent island blossoms. The lei designs include lokelani, cigar flower, Hawaiian pansy, ‘Ākulikuli, crownflower, carnation, dendrobium, ‘Ōhai ali‘i and many others. Additional features include a lay-flat binding, a marking grid and instructions for sewing a bow that can be used on leis, gift packages or hair ornaments.
Customer Reviews
Don’t buy.
Horrible book. No pictures of how to put the leis together. There are only a couple pictures for each creation, none of them detail pictures. There are also no pictures of the finished product. Even if the digital copy of this book was less than $6, it’s still not worth the price. Wish I could return it!
Don’t waste your $
This book has 5 star reviews on Amazon, but shipping was too long so I was happy to find it on itunes. The book shows 2 pics of each technique, but doesn’t show what your making or the finished lei! I was able to find tutorials for the leis on the book cover online for free!!! Don’t waste your money look for free video tutorials instead.
