Concocts false stories
Fabricates means to make or construct something, often from various parts or materials: The company fabricates steel components for bridges.
More commonly, fabricates means to invent or concoct something false—a story, excuse, or piece of evidence: He fabricated an alibi, She fabricated the entire incident.
The lying sense dominates everyday usage.
