I don't know how many of you are 40-50yo or more.... but this is the same way we used to make the key chains out of flat plastic string, there was also another one that used 6 strings.

Thank you for the tutorial. 🤩I've always wanted to make a lei like this, however, I'm a visual learner and reading the directions from a book was super confusing. LOL I had to make some minor adjustments to make it longer and easier to weave the ribbon. Material use: 3/8" Picot Double faced Satin Ribbon. The diameter of this lei will be 1". 1. Used 4 strands 7 yds each, I did not fold in half, instead, I measured approximately 9 inches and tied all four ribbons in a knot for the tail. 2. I wrapped each strand at opposite end around a credit card and then slide if off the card and secured with a rubber band so it wasn't super long and made weaving easier. 3. The final length winded up being approximately 29"-30" unstretched, but could stretch out to to 45"-50" but will eventually shrinks back to it's unstretched length. 😔 4. I would recommend at least at least 8-9 yds, but that's just my opinion. 5. This lei takes a long time to make, especially if you're a stickler for detail, so binge watch a good show and have the wine ready. 😃 I wanted to post a picture, but I don't know how. 🙃

Nice work! Thank you for sharing.

oh wow that is beautiful!!!!! Great job!

I made a 6 ribbon piece with a smaller width ribbon, but I did what they called a DNA stitch and my nephew loved it. Actually someone made him the one that you’re making, but he said mine was his favorite, maybe because he had a few of the box leis, I really don’t know.

Mahalo for sharing! I’m making money leis right now. Patience is needed when doing this form of art. But the product is beautiful! Hope you are well. Aloha Liann

Very beautiful craftsmanship. Congratulations to the grad. XOXO

Thanks for the tutorial! I never made ribbon lei before, just candy or money hehe :P I will try this out for the grads coming up :D

This reminds me making lanyards. Thank you so much for this!

Oh Ok. That actually seems pretty easy. Considering the process is pretty much the same as the key chains I made as a child out of those strechty, plastic, very colorful strings. I'm unsure of what their exactly called, because people refer to them by different named. Thank you for sharing. I definitely wanna see if it's possible to do all the other patterns I did for my key chains, but with the ribbon now.

Do you think it would be possible to create a tutorial on the other lei that your created I read your comment on how if you wanted it to be longer to not fold the ribbon but having a hard time figuring out how to start it

Pretty pretty!

This reminds me of bracelets made with plastic wires, thank you for the tutorial

What is material for ribbon you use . I bought pole tester but the material is soft so is hard to hold. Does your ribbon has same underneath and overhead which mean one side is smoother than onther

I’m doing to make one of these for my brother! How long does it typically take you to make one lei?

Beautiful👍

So pretty. It’s like boondoggle but with ribbon.

Beautiful, great tutorial thank you 💖

Love it

Beautiful! Is it possible to add money in the weave?

Totally reminds me of those boondoggle keychains or bracelets. So cool, it is quite a beautiful lei. I wonder if it would still be the same technique that you would be using if you where to use 4 colors of ribbons as well. I will have to look at other videos to find out.

Thank You for sharing, My friend

Love it! How long did it take you?

Favorite video for making leis 💯💯💯 If I wanted to do 3 ribbons, would that be possible? How?

Wow so beautiful

Can you make other styles of ribbon leis

If I want to make the longer and thinner lei, what should be the width and length of the ribbon?

Hi, have you ever made the same tape of lai but with three colors?

I know it’s intended for graduation but I would totally use it in a homecoming mum

Can you use smaller ribbon? Also is it possible to attach flowers and butterfly money to something like this?

Did you use the entire bulk of ribbon you bought? I would want to make a longer one but I would like to know if I would need to buy more ribbon then

Very nice which type ribbon pls tell me ribbon name

Thank you for tutoring it.

I made double braided ribbons leis for my daughter’s recent college graduation this past Monday! I wish I had seen this. I would’ve definitely made it for her. I love it! What length should you use if you want the leis to be longer? Is 10 ft good enough?

what size of ribbon did you use for the smaller one at the end, the green and gold one? And how many yards?

This is awesome! How does it look on since it’s short?

What is the ribbon width

Do you have PO box??

Wow

Okay this was so relaxing to watch! Now I want to try making a lei! Hahaha but i have a feeling I'm going to waste ribbons.

If you need to take a break can you just stop or will it unravel?

How do I make the Lei longer?

Why was this one thicker and shorter?

Whats the length of the ribbon pls

Lost....🤨

can i pay u this

Is a whole 10 yards too long?

I'm sorry but you made the box knot so much more difficult than it needs to be...

When I was pregnant🤰 with my daughter a lady randomly give me one of this collars!! I felt so special🥺🥰 I was wondering if someone knows the meaning of this collars so I can tell my daughter?? Thank you and advance

This is the same technique as making a plastic lanyard for those who need help.

Not easy for me to follow… the beginning is super important and I was completely lost… I wish you had gone over it again… darn

Pupu

I have never been more frustrated

Nope to effing hard to do. All it's doing is pissing me off
