VIP Tongan Leis - Lauhala/Fa or Foam Papers















Lately I have been enjoying making leis out of the foam papers, ti leaves and hawaiian flowers. These leis are pretty popular in Hawaii. These are special leis for special occasions such as graduation, birthday, wedding, retirement, father's day, mother's day, anniversary and special award/accomplishment celebration. These leis take a lot of time to make. Ti leaves must be gathered, cut and prep before braiding the garland. I have to pre-prep the foam paper semi-circle individual flower before attaching them to the ti leaves garland. I have two categories under the VIP Tongan Leis. The first one is made out of the foam papers red and white, flowers and ti leaves. This type of leis can be shipped to the mainland. The flower that I use since they last in the mainland is the stephanotis (Hawaiian wedding flower). The other type of VIP Tongan Leis is made out of the Lauhala fruit/Pandanus fruit known to Tongans as the "Fa" fruit. The design of the individual flower is adopted from the famous Tongan lei known as the "Faka'otusia" - strips of lauhala fruit sewn together in a semi-circle design and crown with a flower or a ti leaf rose. It is very beautiful and elegant fit for your most special occasion or to give as a gift to loved ones.
