Lei-making is the traditional Hawaiian art of creating garlands or wreaths, known as leis, from various natural materials. These materials can include flowers, leaves, seeds, and even shells. Leis are often given as a symbol of love, friendship, or celebration, and they are commonly worn during special occasions such as graduations, weddings, and luaus. The process of making a lei involves stringing together the chosen materials using a needle and thread or by tying them with knots. Different types of leis can be made, each with its own unique design and meaning. The vibrant colors and fragrant scents of the flowers used in lei-making contribute to their beauty and significance.
