It’s that time of the year…graduation ceremonies are all around. My niece’s son, Dylan, will be going to University of Hawaii this Fall. My niece came up with a craft
project for my sisters to work on, a money lei.
We love a challenge and this is what we came up with.
We folded up 60 - $1 bills in an accordion fold and just
taped the ends together to make a full circle. We separated each dollar bill
with a green bead. We strung the beads and dollar bills together using twine.
I really like leaves
in the lei when it’s for a guy, it looks more masculine. We hot glued leaves
into the beads. Dylan’s school colors are red and white, so we tied some bows
around the lei for color. This just might have to be a new graduation tradition.
Aloha!
You guys rock!! This came out great! Dylan will love this and so will Nat. It's perfect for him going to Univ. of Hawaii.
