Ti Leave bracelets

Got to spend the past few days in Kauai for the first time.

It was gorgeous there, despite it being winter we had 

great weather at 73 degrees.  Nice and warm.

This was one of the beaches we went to. 

and another.....  we found that Kauai's beaches are much 

more rocky than Maui's.  

We tried our hands at ti leave bracelets....

fun to do,  you use the ti leaves either the red or green

or both and add a flower when you're done. 

You start by tying two knots togerher on one end

of the leaves.  Then slip it over a chop stick. 

Hawaiians are taught to do this with a stick between their toes!

Once you slid it over the chop stick you start to twist both sides

right and then twist over left to create the rope. 

So fun to learn how to do this! 

Aloha for now~
