It’s always nice to see that other cultures taking a liking from our traditions, people do admire what we do for our graduates. It makes me happy that people wants to be part of it.🙏

Mahalo nui loa for sharing your crafty knowledge. This is definitely a labor of love. Does anyone else have an evil laugh going through their head at the thought of their child having to undo the lei in order to spend the money? It’s just me? 😂😇❤️

Best money graduation lei I've seen! BEAUTIFUL!! I love the idea of not using tape to bills, and the dollar bill flowers are unique and beautiful. thanks so much for sharing. I have a lei I have to make in a few weeks, and your way is my CHOICE!

Thank you Megan for this tutorial. I am making this for my daughter’s graduation this year. I use the ribbon on her school color. Are those babies breath flower are real?

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. This is gorgeous. Does the hot glue damage the dollars? Thank you.

I’m making this one for my daughter! Thank you! One thing though, I’d love to see a demonstration on a person or a mannequin. I’m trying to figure out how to place this gorgeous lei on a person 🥴

This looks so good. Pity we don't have dollar bills in Australia

Thank you so much for sharing! Being on the east coast on the mainland I struggle to make anything other than carnation leis. Do you know how I could get TI leaves here. Whether I can grow or ship?

thank you...mahalo...for your detailed instrutions...aloha

Love this! Do you know how many flowers are needed for a kid size lei?

Love this lei. Do you have dimensions for a child size? How much ribbon and flowers are needed.

Very good 👍 👏 👌

I use these “flowers” in gift baskets, among real flowers, and even as small wreaths for gifts.

thanks megan

Could one do a headband with smaller ribbons, dollar flowers and maybe stiff twine? Or it wouldn’t really work?

Hi Megan! Thank you for sharing your culture. I’ll be sure to let everyone know I’m attempting a Tongan lei to give credit 🤙🏽 Quick questions - Do you think I could replace the vinyl twine with ribbon and get the same result? Additionally if not 😂 do you have a video on your page that shows how to secure / tie off the ends? Thank you!!!!

What size ribbon did you use for the purple?

What is the width of the purple ribbon? Thank you! This lei is so beautiful!!

Creative money flowerrs

Is there any chance you can fold NZD money?

Thank you! How much do you charge customers for making them?

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing! How many flowers did you end up making for this lei?

Can you show one that the money is laying out flat and has folded ribbons and a flowers all layed out

How wide is the ribbon and how many yards will I need?

Excellent mahalo

Very pretty but takes so much time to make

LOVE your work...Does the rubber bands not break when you glue the paper flowers to them?

Hi Megan, Thank you for sharing this money lei tutorial video. I’m making this money lei for my daughter’s graduation. I love how it looks yet it’s easy to make. What kind of glue do I use to put the tiny flowers on the money?

❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excited to have found your channel! Where would I find lei ribbon that is braided ( that ribbon is attached to)? Is there something that can be used in place of if unable to find it?

What size ribbon and how many yards?

Loved it but its hard to find a stiff ribbon The satin ribbon i baught doesn’t look good when hang on d neck. It was soft. Hard to find 1.3 size. Could i use 1 1/2 size in thickness?

Are you in Hawaii “Oahu “? Please I wanna place order?

Thanks for sharing! Does it take long to braid the lei twine?

Nice xxoo

Hi Megan, I’m wondering what kind of sewing needle and material you’re using to sew in the white flowers?

Do you have this for sale??

Amazing talent! Question- did you use the real baby’s breath or artificial ones? Thank you so so much for sharing. I am making it now for my daughter for her high school graduation. I hope she will love it 💕🙏💐

what type of ribbon is it????? You stated that it is stiff ribbon; is there a special name for this? Also how many 3 bills make a full lei? BTW I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your video. I will be making these for my 2 cousins and my daughter (highschool/college grads). THANK YOU

Can you tell me the name of the ribbon you used? I know it's not satin or grossgrain right? Trying to find some. Tha ks so much! Your videos and leis are beautiful!

Well that’s just sad @sinapatisotoa1575 because the folding being used is actually origami - Japanese paper folding. What is so wonderful about Hawaii graduations and celebrations is the melding of so many cultures creating new and different traditions. When I graduated, in 1974, yes, 50 years ago, we were all buried in flower lei. This new Micronesian style of lei was not around back then, but I’m sure they would have been embraced warmly. Please open your heart and realize how wonderful it is to share culture with others. Also, our lei 50 years ago were handmade as were the lei given to all the generations before. I’m sending some Aloha and Talofa to your heart.

The acetate ribbon is expensive (for me) for 1 lei. If I use satin will it be too soft & not hold the shape? Have you tried it in the past & found it looks terrible?

I'm trying to fold the ribbons on to the string but i can see the string from the back. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? I am using cotton twine.

Aloha! Just beautiful! Can u pls send the link also for the baby’s breath? Mahalo!

Width on the ribbon please?? Thank you for sharing your talent with us

I'm almost done with mine but have a question. Do I tie ribbon on all the way up the twine or leave plain twine on each side? About how many inches are just plain twine on each side? My new daughter in law is getting her M.S. & is going to be surprised!
