My friend La’ai gave me a lesson on how to make a haku lei. Now I do not have much talent when it comes to crafts. But as La’ai went through the process, I was quite impressed at how easy it seemed.
She gathered some ti leaves and a bunch of plumeria flowers. She knew how to find all of the necessary materials.
She started by pulling the ti leaves into strips. She explianed to me the haku lei uses a braiding method to create the lei.
I was quite amazed at how fast she was able to create the lei. She was quite nimble as she braided the plumeria right into the lei.
She explained that the haku is a very special kind of lei. It can be worn either on your head or even your wrist.

I have also created several other vidoes. I plan on posting them at
