How to Make Ribbon Leis

A lei is a neck garland given as a gift in the Hawaiian and Polynesian cultures to show affection or mark important occasions. Many lei are made of natural objects like flowers, feathers, or sea shells. Ribbon lei are popular because they don't contribute to over-picking of flowers and greenery and because they last for years. You can make ribbon lei by braiding or sewing.
