I wish I had known about this before my bestie graduated from Sac state, I would have made one of green and gold, the school colors!

Hi, I figure that’s about what your cost is about 10 bucks and then yes if you’re selling them, you wanna make sure you’re putting in for the cost of materials the time and then you triple your cost about 45 bucks making these with graduation coming up sooner cause we just had herone of our college graduations last weekend for college I’m attending

I love the way you explained this. Thank you Joy.
She’s so sweet and kind. Thankyou for helping me learn how to make a lei
Oh my goodness I love listening to you! Thank you for sharing your aloha with the world!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! ❤🙏
Thank you sooo much, Auntie. We live on the mainland now and I really wanted to make my sister a lei for graduation. So easy to follow!
Omgoshh this was just the most helpful and relaxing video I’ve ever watched to learn to make something! Thank you!!❤ I will be definitely be making these for my two sons! C/O 2023!
My middle schoolers (girls and boys) are all making leis as part of their ukulele intensive at school. They are LOVING this and have been giving them away all week to friends and family.

What a relaxing video. I’m inspired to do one because you explain it so well. Perfect for my eighth grader graduation in 3 weeks. Thank you Joy

Thank you SO much for your step-by-step instructions. I made one for my daughter for graduation, and she LOVED it. She also had many compliments on it. You are fabulous!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! With your instructions I was able to make a commemorative lei in honor of my best friend's mother who recently passed away. I wanted to do something more than send flowers, something more permanent, something that would really honor their cultural traditions and I'm so excited to present this to her. Mahalo 😁🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Oh that's lovely, and I love that there is no equipment needed except for the two ribbons! I like being able to do things to pass the time if I'm in one place waiting for a long time or if I'm traveling because it curbs my anxiety.
Ms. Joy you are amazing. Thank you for the video. ❤
Awesome! Love the simple explanation. Thank you! Beautiful 🤩

@@blk6197 generally, I use 5 yards of each color for an adult lei. The finished lei can be stretched a little if you need it be longer. Hope this helps!
Absolutely brilliant
