More loosely defined, a lei is any series of objects strung together with the intent to be worn. A lei (na lei is the plural in the Hawaiian language) may be composed of a pattern or series of just about anything, but most commonly consists of fresh natural foliage such as flowers, vines, or fern fronds. Among the flowers used are the plumeria, lehua blossom or the orchid, though maile leaves are extremely popular as well as traditional among hula dancers.
Other types of lei may include sea shells, feathers, plastic flowers, fabric, paper (including origami and monetary bills), candy, or anything that can be strung together in a series or pattern and worn as a wreath or a necklace.
The three different methods of making lei are: to string the material of the lei usually with a needle through the middle of the flower; to tie each flower individually by the stem; and, last but not least, to make three separate strings of flowers and then braid them together. The last one is reserved as a display of prominent affection or love.

You sew the flowers together. Intertwine the stems together.
