Lei Po'o Workshop

I had a fun time with a group of ladies who were basically beginners and wanted to learn how to make lei po'o.  They were very eager and did a great job!  I was so busy going around and teaching that I neglected to take too many pics so here are a few finished group pics.

Vilma had to leave early so she wasn't in the group pic.  However, I was able to get a separate pic of her.

A fun group of ladies joined me to learn how to make "lei po'o" or head lei using the wili method.  For most, it was there first time doing this.

 

 

Graduation pic!  They all did a great job!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2025 Pre-Punahou Carnival "Haku" making

 Once again, in the Punahou Cafeteria, we joined together for 2 evenings making Lei Po'o (head lei) for the Punahou carnival.  This year, Amanda couldn't join us but Cory and his friends from Watanabe Floral (present and past) joined Sarah and me.
