How To Make Money Leis For Guys

How to make Money Leis on { lilluna.com } Such a great graduation gift!!

Do you have a friend or family member graduating soon?

As previously mentioned my BIL graduated from ASU recently, so I've had graduation on the brain. As I've thought about graduation, I realized that there are so many fun things you can do with this theme!! One of things I wanted to do was figure out  how to make money leis since I featured one last year and thought it was awesome! I mean, let's face it – it looks so much cooler than a gift card or check, right?! And this version of the lei doesn't take as many $1 bills which means you can get away with giving an awesome gift for $30-$35!

Although this project does take some time, it is really easy and the end product looks FAB!

{Thank you to the hubby who modeled this grad gown and lei since I didn't have it finished in time for my BIL to model it!! – LOL!}

Here is what you'll need…

SUPPLIES:

– 30-35 Crisp $1 Bills

– Printing paper in whatever color you choose (I did white)

– Elmer's Glue Spots

– Hot Glue Gun & sticks

– Ribbon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Begin by gathering your $1 bills. You will need about 30-35 of them.

2. You will then turn your dollar bills into accordions. To do that you will zig-zag your dollar bill like Image 1 and finish with image 2. As a hint, I folded mine half way between the number 1 on the President side of the bill in the top left corner (if that makes sense). Folding it there made it come out pretty even at the end. From there, I folded the bill in half to create an indent. Then I stuck 2 glue spots and pulled the sides of the bill down so it stuck. I did that for the other side as well. Glue Spots work perfect because they stick really well, but also come off pretty easy so they don't ruin the money. NOTE: Don't put the glue spots too close to the indent because that is where we will be sticking the ribbon through to string the dollar bills.

3. You will then do the same thing with the bills to pieces of paper that are cut out that are the size of a dollar. You can do all dollar bills if you want but this looks just as awesome and saves you half the money! You will also need 30-35 of these. Instead of using glue spots on these I hot glued which was quicker. NOTE: Be sure not to glue all the way to the indent so you can fit your ribbon in.

4. String your dollar bills with ribbon alternating between the accordion dollars and the accordion papers. When you are finished, tie it off. NOTE: You can also stick other items in between the bills/papers if you want to do even less money. I had thought of Butter Rum Lifesavers since they are a gold-ish color. Just a thought. 🙂
