Behind the Lei 

Aloha, I’m Karlee – the one-woman show of Karlei’s Creation. 

What began as a small passion project has blossomed into something truly special. By day, I’m a full-time high school science teacher here on the beautiful island of Oʻahu. But in my free time, you’ll find me doing what I love most – creating handcrafted leis and lei poʻo, one lei at a time. 

Karlei’s Creation is a one-woman show, and every piece I make is poured over with love, care, and intention. I’ve always believed that a lei is more than just a beautiful gift – it’s a symbol of aloha, a gesture of love, and a piece of your heart shared with a loved one. That’s why no two leis are ever the same. Each one is unique, just like the person it’s meant for. 

When I craft a lei, it receives my full attention. I believe that the energy you put into something truly matters – and it’s important to me that every lei I create reflects only the best intentions, love, and positivity. 

Mahalo for stopping by and supporting my passion project. I truly hope you find something here that brings joy to you & your loved ones. 

With love &Aloha,
Karlee
