    Wow, this is incredible. Noho au ma Kaua’i, and I’ve only seen this style a few times. The amount of work that goes into it is incredible. Nani loa o ia. What can you use for the threads that is natural and would break down? We usually put out lei in the ocean after we’ve kept them in the house dried for a while.

    I wonder if it would look the same if you were to braid the baby’s breath in with the Ti-leaf. Mahalo ‘ikai. Heeeee’ilo. 😂

    Could u use nylon thread or would it rip the flowers? Im hus wondering how to hide the ribbon when dewing the flowers on. Its a beautiful piece❤

    • @makeitmegan
      @makeitmegan  Год назад

      I haven’t tried nylon thread, my only concern would be if the thread is not thick enough, it will go right through the flowers.
      Now that I’ve made this lei many many times, I find it easiest to sew on a few pieces of babys breath than the carnation then 2 bunches of babys breath in between. Basically I sandwich the carnations with babys breath and it does a good job of hiding any thread and stem!

    Your tutorial are so good and easy that I can even make them! Question, how early could I make this and be sure they would they stay looking fresh. 2-3 days. This type of flower, carnations. Thank you!

    • @makeitmegan
      @makeitmegan  Год назад

      It will be fine in the fridge for 2-3 days. If you are making it with white carnations, I would only do 1-2 days because they show more browning than a color carnation

    How many days in advance can you create the lei so the flowers do not welt?

    • @makeitmegan
      @makeitmegan  Год назад

      This style I would only make a day ahead. You could make the ti leaf base 2 days ahead (keep it in the fridge) and then add the babys breath and carnations the day before

    How do you store this when done? In the refrigerator?

      Yes! Store in the fridge in the produce drawer with your refrigerator on the lowest/warmest setting

    If I don’t have twine, can I use something else like yarn ?

    • @makeitmegan
      @makeitmegan  8 месяцев назад +1

      I haven’t used yarn before. I’m not sure if it would keep ti leaf in place, the plastic twine kind of grips the ti leaf. If you don’t have the lei twine, I would try long raffia or jute twine

    Can I replace to carnation with roses for the same effect?

    • @makeitmegan
      @makeitmegan  9 месяцев назад

      I haven’t used roses before but I’ve seen other people make this style with roses. I imagine the process is the same, you might have to make a few adjustments when sewing it on based on the stem length 🌺😊

    Your 'Tongan' garlands are looking more and more like our Fijian salusalus (garlands) 🙄

      Yes it does matter if you're taking Fijian style garlands and calling them Tongan. Not original at all 🙄
