Crankin' Out Crafts Episode 231 - Braided Ribbon Lei

This lei is an oldie but goodie. Puna shows you to simple steps for quick lei making.

Here's an easy lei to make with ribbon!

Supplies:

1/4” satin, picot edge ribbon in two coordinating colors

Scissors

*Optional – 1/8” ribbon, money, and double stick tape*

Varying the width of the ribbon used in this lei will also vary the width of your finished lei. If you’re taking the option of adding money onto your lei, don’t forget to tie it on tight! We don’t want the graduate losing the money before they get a chance to use it.
