How to Make a Flower Lei
- 1). Cut orchid blossoms from the stem of the plant. Leave the sepal - the green part that holds the petals together - attached to the blossom.
- 2). Thread your needle with a considerable amount of thread - about 25 to 30 inches.
- 3). Tie a large knot at one end of the thread.
- 4). Pick up cut orchid blossom and look for the hole in the sepal that goes through the center of the blossom.
- 5). Run needle and thread through hole in sepal and center of blossom.
- 6). Thread another blossom in the same fashion. The new blossom's sepal should end up in the center of the previous blossom.
- 7). Continue threading blossoms.
- 8). When you reach the end of the thread or run out of blossoms, tie ends of thread together and knot tightly.
