How To Make A Ribbon Lei

"This is the time of year for graduation. and for a braided ribbon lei (or two or three). I grew up in Hawai’i and graduation means giving graduation leis to all the graduates you know. You make the lei in the graduate’s school colors and the lei is a nice graduation keepsake. Learning how to make a ribbon lei is simple and once you get the hang of it, you can make a single strand in under 30 minutes. I’ve included a ribbon lei making video, too, to make it easier to follow the tutorial."
