Hawaiian Kukui Nut Eyelash Yarn Lei Yellow Hibiscus

Description

Aloha to all you Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart!  Giving a lei to someone can mean friendship, love, or just simply Aloha.  Special feelings and meanings go into making a lei, especially one that becomes a treasured keepsake.  A lei is placed over the recipient's head and worn over the shoulders draped both front and back.  The placement of the lei is traditionally followed by a kiss!
There are many opportune times for giving someone a fragrant flower lei.  The custom was made internationally famous decades ago when visitors were greeted with lei upon their arrival to the islands.  Today, the giving of a lei to someone arriving or departing our islands still continues, and the lei is often kept as a memento of the special memories of the occasion.
The art of lei making has evolved over the years and now it is common to use new materials like ribbon, fabric, wooden beads, mylar, trims, yarn, candy, clay and money.
A lucky eBayer will receive this handcrafted kukui nut and eyelash yarn lei handmade with aloha from the Hawaiian islands.  Our designers started with a classic black kukui nut lei with each nut handpainted with a
yellow hibiscus flower
.  Then they crocheted eyelash yarn in the colors of
blue and white
into the kukui nut lei to further give the final piece a dramatic look, feel and texture!  This lei measures approximately 34 to 36 inches in length.  These are given on special ocassions such as birthdays, weddings, graduation and retirement.  Make your next gift one with island flair.  Uniquely Hawaiian, this treasure makes a wonderful keepsake!
