What length of the ti leaf ribbon would be needed for one lei? The Amazon link has different yard length options.

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

An adult lei needs 6-7 yards of the ti leaf ribbon

@margaretmori4735 Жыл бұрын

For my mothers memorial photo, do you think the ti leaf ribbon looks better than ribbon? I already bought the 1.3" royal blue ribbon for the $ flower ribbon lei. Thanks. Everyone loves your leis & Ive told lots of my fb group about your youtube channel.

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

I think the royal blue ribbon will look beautiful. Using the ti leaf ribbon is the most realistic artificial lei I’ve done so it just depends on the finished look you are going for ♥️🌺

Aloha Megan did you say I have to cut them 7" long and I need at least 80-90 strips? and the string is about 40 inches long.?

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

Yes, the ti leaf ribbon is cut 7” long and then the width is cut into thirds and you need 80-90 of the individual pieces. Your string will need to be longer than 40 inches because of the weaving process. I usually cut mine 60-70 inches depending on the length I want my finished lei.

@samkey7614 Жыл бұрын

Do you heat the ends of the ribbon, so they don't fray?

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

This ribbon has a plastic like texture so it doesn’t fray

@margaretmori4735 Жыл бұрын

What length of time leaf ribbon is needed? Thanks.

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

The specific ribbon I used needs 6-7 yards of ribbon for the lei. The 1.3” ribbon you will need about 16 yds.

Where do you get the artificial gardenias from?

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

They are from Amazon, it is linked in the description box!

@luseanefunaki4355 Жыл бұрын

Okay I might be slow hahaha. When you sew are you piercing through the ti leaf ribbon? Or you said pierce through the twine, so pierce through the white ribbon instead of the ti lead ribbon? Haha sorry I was confused at that part.

@makeitmegan Жыл бұрын

I do both because of the placement of the flower. The twine is thicker than the ti leaf ribbon so I like to go through it at least once per flower. Sometimes if you go through the ti leaf ribbon and pull too hard it will rip through the ribbon.

Okay awesome thank you so much!!
