[@mz.broughton9993]

Love it 😍 Do you cover the back so all the roughness isnt showing?

[@startupai]

🥰🥰🥰

[@anitafalcone4956]

This is absolutely beautiful! Where do you get your lei needles? Thanks for sharing.

[@samkey7614]

I love how thorough you are. I'm not at the end of the video yet. How far in advance should they be made with the fresh flowers? Would it be the day of the event??

[@makeitmegan]

You can make the fresh flower part 24 hours before. I recommend keeping it in the fridge on the warmest setting!

[@alisifilipe9004]

OMG Love this! You’re amazing! Do you have a tutorial on how to make a fakahaapai please?

[@makeitmegan]

I do! Check out our other videos, there is a ribbon fakaha’apai tutorial.

[@leaht8901]

Your work is amazing. Do you mind adding the total cost of materials?

[@johnhoye6584]

Paracord, which you did not suggest, but people might use, is very absorbent. Which means it will get dirty quickly. Just FYI.

[@simplykatttt]

Thank you so much Megan. I do want to ask if using artificial flowers would make a difference especially if I’m wanted to keep them long term.

[@makeitmegan]

Definitely! We have some fully artificial lei tutorials that show leis that can be reused over and over again.

[@Alohagirl1967]

I see when you are working making delay you have the other flowers sit on the table should they be in water or will it be OK? Or just leave it out until you’re finished with your project. It won’t turn brown. How long does delay less from the time you make it?

[@makeitmegan]

Yes they will be fine. The lei will last 2+ days in the fridge depending on the type of flowers you use. I recommend keeping it in the fridge on the warmest setting until its ready to wear

[@kmp143yu2]

Do you have any words of wisdom about not using staples and sewing it on there? Is it too delicate for sewing?

[@josiekulau-rm1ib]

Is that a green plastic sheet?

[@makeitmegan]

It is stiffened felt

[@kimhouston1234]

Is this lei mainly for men wear?

[@makeitmegan]

Its worn by men and women ♥️🌺

[@RianneKafoa]

Malo Meg

[@florinajessop8160]

Thank you for sharing. I really love your tutorials and the different ways of making the leis. Love all your leis and they're all beautiful. I'm always looking forward to watching your new tutorials and learning from them. Thank you again Megan you're simply the best. Looking forward for more. Have a safe and blessed week. ❤️

[@florinajessop8160]

Hi Megan It's me again I forgot to ask if you used the regular satin ribbon or the polypropylene ribbon. Thanks.
