Crafts With Silk Luau Lei Flowers

Modeled after traditional Hawaiian flowers used in lei making, silk lei flowers are an inexpensive imitation and can be incorporated into many different types of craft projects. These tropical flowers are easy to distinguish because of their vibrant colors and large petals.


Flower Combs


Hair flower combs are a simple craft to make using silk lei flowers. You need a plastic hair comb, glue and silk flowers. Simply glue a cluster of silk lei flowers onto the comb. For extra detail, add stick-on craft gems to the petals of the silk flowers.


Flower Bracelets and Anklets


Young girls at a luau theme party will love to create flower bracelets and anklets using silk lei flowers. Cut a piece of elastic cording that is the same length as the circumference of your wrist or ankle. Loop the silk flowers onto the elastic cording, and tie the two ends of the cord together in a knot.


Silk Flower Garlands


Silk lei flower garlands can be used to decorate doorways, mantels and almost any other surface around your home. To create a silk flower garland, you will need silk lei flowers and craft glue. Apply a small dot of craft glue to one corner of one of the lei flowers. Press one corner of another flower onto the dot of glue. Continue gluing the corners of each flower together to create the flower garland.
