We found the perfect money lei for graduation and thought we'd share how to make it:
Items needed:  2 spools of black ribbon (12 feet each), $100 (in dollar bills), and black paper.

Step 1:  Start folding each dollar bill like a fan, as shown below.

Step 2:  Cut the black paper the same size as a dollar bill. You will need 100 pieces cut. Fold them the same as each dollar bill.

Step 3:  You will need 2 dollar fans to make 1 circle. The same goes for the paper fans.

Step 4:  Take each spool of ribbon and unravel them.  Place one end of each spool together and form a loop. You will then sew the loop in place.  End result:  a loop with 2 long strands of ribbon coming down.

Step 5:  Now that you have a loop with 2 ends, you can get started tying on the money and paper fans. Keep in mind that there are 2 ends of ribbon, but you will use them to tie, so in the end, there will only be 1 strand.

Step 6:  Alternate tying the paper and money using both strands of ribbon, and soon you will have the completed…

Want a darling package to send to your missionary that is ALL READY to go?  We all have good intentions, but sometimes time slips away and those care packages or other crafts/gifts get put aside.  If you need to send something without all the fuss - let us help!



Each day's card is designed in black and white and starts like this...
"On the (1st) day of Christmas, the Savior gave to me..."
We wanted to emphasize all the many things that the Savior has given all of us.

Here is a brief summary of the candy bars included as well as the "gift" that the Savior has given us on that particular day.  Each card has either a scripture, a quote from a prophet, or lyrics to a song that correlates with the gift.



Day 1 - A "Symphony" of Christmas songs
Day 2 - A gospel that is worth way more than "100 Grand"
Day 3 - A "Sweet" family to enjoy this life with...
Day 4 - An opportunity to be a "Lifesaver" in other's lives...
Day 5 - An …
