A few weeks ago we had our RS Activity Night. The theme was "Christmas in July". Since our ward is so diverse, there are many hidden talents. This was the perfect opportunity to share those talents. We made Christmas ornaments using lauhala, a native Hawaiian plant.
The lauhala candy cane was by far the hardest, since you were actually weaving four pieces around a pipe cleaner (to give it shape)
Sometimes it actually took to sets of hands to get it right
the lauhala wreath was easy, quick and fun
I think the fish may have been my favorite. Some were left plain and others were decorated with glitter.
Can't wait to see these ornaments on the Christmas tree. Not only are they Hawaiian style, but they look great, were pretty easy to make but also very inexpensive...lauhala can be found in a lot of yards or growing wild.
