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…
