Pictured here are some of the quickie leis we assembled in a marathon lei-making evening. We chose to make candy/snack leis because the flower leis really get crushed by the time all the leis are around the neck of the graduates. I still had a few crochet leis that I made last year so we gave out those too. The good thing about yarn leis is that they stay good looking for years and can even be recycled to another graduate. That's not tacky.....that's being GREEN. LOL! What I wanted to point out about our candy leis is that we dressed them up by tying on the artificial orchid leis, Mardi Gras style graduation beads, or bunches of wedding favor flowers from Ben Franklin Crafts. I'm sure that you can find all sorts of interesting decorations at BFC to make your candy leis more unique. Well, before I take another needed nap, I have to finish a few more grad cards and get them in the mail.
