In the beginning she said she uses abt 10 leaves total, use more if you’re using small leaves (abt 13-15)

A standard one is usually about 6 feet long. I would recommend doing 7-8 ft long for your grandson

Mahalo. Made a practice one yesterday after watching your video a couple of times. It turned out pretty ok. Think I did too many twists before adding each filler piece of Ti leaf. Will twist less between pieces for the next one I practice on. Then I need to figure out how to best pack it to fly to mainland with me without ruining it.

Yes! There are several methods to soften ti leaf. You can microwave, boil or iron if you don’t have time to freeze it.

How long will a ti leaf lei remain fresh? Or how far in advance can one be made?
@makeitmegan
Жыл бұрын
This style will remain fresh for 3-5 days. Keep it wrapped in a damp paper towel at the bottom of the fridge on the lowest setting. This type of lei does not need to be misted with water. Let the lei air dry for 30 minutes before wearing to dry out and prevent any staining of clothing
This is sooo helpful. Mahalo! Question, how long should it hang to dry the sap?

Yes, if they are large ti leaves 10 will be enough -5-6 softened/frozen and the rest fresh to cut the smaller pieces

This lei will last up to 3-7 days if kept in a plastic bag in the refrigerator on the lowest setting. It does not need to be misted with water. Before wearing the lei, hang it on a hanger and let it dry out for 30 minutes!

You can order from Florida and they overnight it. Or from Hawaii but it takes longer. You can try with ribbon but it doesn’t hold the same

You can keep the frozen ti leaves before making the lei for months in the freezer. The finished lei will be good in the fridge for up to 7 days

Where would be the best place to get ti leaves?
@makeitmegan
Жыл бұрын
Here are my best tips on sourcing ti leaves in the US (Foraging, ordering through a floral wholesaler, local retail flower shop, flower market or ordering online). If you live in a tropical area where Ti Leaf grows, you can forage or grow it. Make sure to do your research on how to remove the leaves correctly so that you do not cause damage and the leaves will grow again. Local Wholesale Floral Supplier - Most wholesalers require you are a business and have an EIN/sales tax ID. Some wholesalers sell to the public. You can shop from their flower cooler of items on hand or place an order in advance. Your local flower shop may let you special order bunches of Ti Leaf in advance at retail price. If you live near a flower market (like the Los Angeles Flower Market) you can shop there. Ti Leaf is usually in stock or you can order ahead of time and you don’t normally need a business license to shop there. Lastly, you can order from an online wholesaler. If you google wholesale ti leaf, you will find many different options. Many of the online wholesalers don’t require you are a business but they usually have a minimum like $100.
