Native leaves, flowers and other natural beauty inspire Hawaiian snowflake designs. You can see leaves of the Breadfruit, Papaya, Ti and Palm trees, blossoms of Official State and Island flowers, lilies, Plumeria, Orchids, and plant leaves such as Monstera (Split-Leaf philodendron) and Ferns in Hawaiian designs.
Sometimes the artist will use images of animals such as the dolphin and sea turtle, or renderings of ancient rock carvings which are called Petroglyphs.
These pages contain printable Snowflake Patterns to help you get started making your own paper Hawaiian Snowflakes.
