Make & Take: Pikake Forever Lei — Straight Stringing

String your own forever lei in one sitting. This Make and Take Saturday, our team will teach you the straight stringing technique — the simplest, most satisfying way to build a necklace from scratch. No crimps, no wire, no tools. Just beads, thread, and your two hands. Choose from two pikake necklace kits, each inspired by the flower lei tradition. The Ho'onani pairs warm sandalwood beads with hand-carved mother-of-pearl pikake buds — classic, luminous, meant to be worn daily. The Uluwehi swaps in green and cream resin pikake for a fresh, garden-inspired look that feels like spring year-round. The lesson is free with any kit purchase. Walk in between 3 and 6 PM, sit down at the beading table, and leave wearing a lei you made with your own hands.
