Kaulana & China are two of the most beautiful, talented and patient teachers of the art of Lei making. I have been able to make many leis thanks to their classes on the Pride Of America. I love and miss them both.
Kaulana taught me how to make a 2 ribbon lei on the Pride of America. Followed this tutorial and was able to make a 4 ribbon lei easily. Thank you for the great tutorial!
great instructions presented. in a calm tone. I watched other videos regarding this lei and was still not grasping and understanding how it works. Thank you for clearing it up for me. (about the center and how it stays together.,). Wished I had taken same lei making classes when I was living there with my Hilo husband.
Straight forward tutorial easy to follow. Tried other videos but it was unclear. Was able to make a 4 ribbon lei with ease with this tutorial. Thank you 🤙🌺
Mahalo, I’m making a lei for our grad school graduate daughter; she’ll be working as a therapist/counselor😊. I really miss the islands 🌴; my Dad’s company used to have construction jobs there! Aloha🌺☺️!
I just got my four ribbons, but didn't notice until I opened them that the dot pattern they have is only on one side. Now, I'm wondering which side the pattern should be on, if it matters. I'm thinking on the outer side of the loop.
Kaulana you need a facebook page. Wish I could post a picture because after you inspired me on the Pride of America last week, I made a beautiful 4 strand lei for my daughter ( in her school colors.) that graduates college this weekend.
Thank you for this tutorial. Directions and demonstration was easy to follow. Other videos, either they talk too much or their hands get in the way which makes it difficult to follow.
What is the Hawaiian name for these type of leis? When I was on the cruise last week, we made them with 2 ribbons. I have made one of those and am now working on my 4 ribbon lei. I thought you gave the lei a specific name.
Aloha, China We met on the POA back in July and I've made 6 of the 4 ribbon leis since being back in New Zealand. Have you ever made a 6 ribbon lei? Please advise. Mahalo.
Hi Craig! I am clearly not China, but I have made one with eight ribbons. My ambassador was Kaulana, and he was very helpful. Essentially, adding on another pair of ribbons is just like a four ribbon. Let’s call them pairs A, B, and C. A and B would be the four ribbon video above. You start the same way, with wrapping the match for the loop for pair B underneath the ribbon for pair A. Then you add in pair C- but you treat B and C like they are the pairs in a four ribbon lei. So you wrap the match for loop C underneath the ribbon for loop B only, not all of the ribbons. I hope this makes sense! Good luck!
They are the best Hawaiian ohana ever! I got the pleasure of working with them on the pride of America in Hawaii. Love Y'all

a great video, pretty easy to follow, Kaulana speaks so well and easy to understand work along with the craft! thank you!
Thank you guys! I found the two ribbon one elsewhere but I needed four and couldn't figure out how to do it, but with your help I did! Thanks!
Mahalo I sailed with Kaulana in March you were the best. Maybe next I’ll get to meet China 🙂
I'm in Hawaii now. Went to a two ribbon lei class. I want to do a four ribbon lei 😮😊
Love the way you explained
This is a very well presentation. Great instructions.
Best video for four ribbons lei

Learned from you, Kaulana on the POA- enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing more lessons!
Very simple tutorial.
Great job Kaulana and China.
I learned lei making with China at Norwegian Cruise Line Pride of America.
Perfectly explained--thank you!!!!
Best coach! And great demo
I loved it very easy to do very well explained 👏
awesome
Easy to follow tutorial - I was finally able to do a 4 strand lei- do you have a tutorial video for a 6 strand / triple braid Lei?
Mahalo, I’m making a lei for our grad school graduate daughter; she’ll be working as a therapist/counselor😊.

Best and easy demo thank you
Mahalo for the easy and simple explanation!
Have you made leis with more than 4 ribbons
I've made a few 4 ribbon leis now and was hoping you could give me some advice on how to make a 6 ribbon lei.
Mahalo!
Great demo and very easy to follow... mahalo

I have the same problem, with a one-sided pattern.
With a one sided pattern, you will need to have the pattern facing up. The blank side should be underneath.
Kaulana you need a facebook page. Wish I could post a picture because after you inspired me on the Pride of America last week, I made a beautiful 4 strand lei for my daughter ( in her school colors.) that graduates college this weekend.

Muy lindo se lo puede coser a un vestido o blusa...
I've read different lengths for ribbon (6 yds, 10 yds, and now 7 yds). Which is the best length to produce a graduation lei for a man?
When we make our 4 ribbon lei, we usually use 7 yds. Better to have a little bit more than not enough.

How many inches long will the finished lei be?
Depends on you. Should measure over your head and just below your chest.
The colors are confusing…. He says pink then purple 😅. I’ll keep trying
