Thanks! We are glad you enjoy the lei making segments! They are very easy to make and are great for graduation, holidays, special events, or just to wear!
Mahalo for the answer, bfslocations! You guys ROCK! This is a GREAT resource for those of us who buy the books but who also need, like my friend said, to see something done "with the maka" in order to understand and attempt to make something ourselves. Mahalo!
Exact tutorial I was looking for. Thank you so much !!
HI Erika! The twist in the 3-Straw lei comes after the lei is done but before you tie it off. You can twist the lei and then tie it together and the twist will stay for a little while. It doesn't stay twisted permanently though, like crochet lei. After a while the lei will have to be re-twisted and re-tied. Thanks for watching!
In general you're going to use 3 skeins of yarn for an average sized 3 straw lei. If you want to make the lei smaller, like 22", you could probably use half of each of those skeins, or about 1.5 skeins depending on what yarn you use. If it's the Hoku yarn, I would say that you're probably going to end up using 3 full skeins. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and Happy lei making!
Looking forward to making this
Hi! Thanks for watching! Not sure what the song is, will have to listen closely! Happy Lei Making and Congrats to your sister on her graduation!
Hi T-Ann! For bigger leis, we use the jumbo straws for Bubble Tea - we sell them at our Hawaii BFC stores and also online on the Crafting is Fun website (link in description box above). The straws used in the video are regular size straws, made of hard plastic. Thanks for watching!
Yes, those should work fine!
Puna, about how much of the yarn would you need for make 3 straw lei that ended to be 22" long when worn?
PUNA, does it matter how many straws we can use? I like the jumbo size straws. But, if I want it a lei to bcome thicker nd fluffy How can I nd how many should I used? Pls txt me back

I’m attempting to make the 3 Straw Lei. Why is my yarn getting tangled?
Hey Puna! What kine straws do you suggest one use to make the bigger lei, and what size straw you when use for the one you was making in the video?
Wow, so beautifil colors, looks like Rainbows. Awesome. Does it mater if I can use 2combo straws or 3 with any colors w/out kukui nuts?.I'm hawaiian, n I would loved to do my own, for my house, n do some on my spare time besides sleeping. Mahalo.
You can choose any colors you would like. Kukui nuts are optional.
Hey Puna, hope you post more lei tutorials.
Aloha Puna, where can I purchase the Book?
Hi bfslocations! How was the spiral achieved in the white, lavender and purple example lei? I mean, I *think* I know ... you twist as you go, and if it's spiraled when you tie the ends together the spiral will remain? -- Erika. Thanks!
I can't wait to make this for my sister's graduation this week. Thank you for the very informative instructions. Btw, what is the title of the song playing in the background at 3:00 mins.
Puna, would straws like the kine from McDonalds work for the smaller size lei?
I need instructions how to make ginger lei please. Since I moved here in Vegas I lost my diy leis. Could you please show me how to make? Mahalo
Hi! We actually have instructions for a similar style lei to the Ginger Lei made with Rattail in our Handcrafted Lei and Flowers Book IX. This volume is available for purchase online on www.craftingisfun.com Item #:30114152 (Link to item: www.craftingisfun.com/leis/leis-and-flowers-book-ix.html) The lei is called the "Double Love Knot Hibiscus Lei". You can change out the color of the rattail to match the ginger lei look. We also sell a variety of lei making supplies and our other Lei Books on that site. Thank you!
Puna is 3 skeins of each color... Or is it a total of 1 skein per color?
What is the total yards in one that I should use?
+Shanelle Raposa each skein should have at least 45 yards to complete the lei.
Thank you for watching!
+Shanelle Raposa it should be a total of 135yards used for this lei. Thank you for watching!
+BFS Locations thank you so much...
