The metal lei needle is 12 to 18 inches long with a sharp point at one end and a small hook on the other end to hold the twine.

To make an orchid lei:   hold a blossom flat in one hand and insert the needle carefully through the bottom of the flower, then through the center, and finally through the other end.
