Owner Elvrine Chow of Heavenly Haku leads the haku lei making class with clear direction and experience. Using a selection of brilliant Kaui grown flowers and foliage like plumeria, orchids, and ti leaves, Chow notes that the blooms can last for up to a month. We easily pick up the wili-style technique and the relaxing craft is a fun way to connect to Hawaiian culture. In under half hour, we end up with a regal haku (crown).
