Graduation DEMANDS a LEI

My mommy, Auntie and Cousin were slaving away at the table last night making graduation leis. Many of our friends have kids graduating from HIGH SCHOOL this year so we are celebrating LARGE this year.

They were making candy and money leis -or combination thereof. I am partial to the CANDY ones, although I never get a taste of any of the candy as it is mostly CHOCOLATE.

Here is one kind THEY made. Auntie BH found the pattern on http://lilluna.com/how-to-make-money-leis/

The candy lei was pretty easy but oddly more time consuming. This is what it looked like (and the pattern came from here http://www.guavarose.com/2013/05/kukui-nut-candy-lei/

Ultimately they combined to make a candy lei with money
