How to make Money Leis


Materials Needed:
3 plastic straws to be used as spacers. CUT these evenly. the larger you cut these the farther apart your rosettes will be. The smaller they are the tighter your lei will be.

Curling ribbon 6 to 8 feet.

Scotch tape

$50 to $100 crisp dollar bills
colored card stock - cut to the size of a $1 dollar bill

STEP ONE

Crisp dollar bill.


Fold dollar bill in half length wise


OPEN Dollar


Fold dollar bill into even pleats. IT takes awhile to fold. I folded two dollar bills at one time and then seperated.


Fold all bills into an accordian style


To add variety or color to the lei, you can cut colored cardstock to the size of $1 and fold the same way.


Fold the pleated bills in half and form to make a rosette. Tape both sides to form a circle.

Take curling ribbon. Make a large loop. You will take your 6foot ribbon and fold in half evenly. This will now become a 3ft ribbon. You may add tape to the ends of the ribbon to make it easier to thread through rosettes.

Make a double-knot in the looped end of the ribbon (middle) (not the cut ends).

Put the folded bill below the knot, between the two strands of ribbon. Make a double-knot around the bill to hold it in place.


I started out trying various methods. THIS method. I did not pre close the rosettes. You take your accordian folded bill and you tie the ribbon around the middle, half knot.

Secure that down tightly.

Add a spacer. Picture of what the spacers look likes with rosettes.



and then add another dollar bill and tie a half knot and then a spacer. Slide the dollar down to the spacer. Open the dollar and tape sides to form a rosette. REPEAT

Finish until all your dollar bills are used. You can use the colored cardstock to break the color and use as stretchers, so you could use less money. Because you are using such crisp dollar bills it is irritable to the neck. You can finish the lei off by using beads, or flowers or making a yarn lei on the end.
VOILA
It makes for a beautiful gift! These are very time consuming and I realize why it
My directions may be a little sketchy. Since this was the first one I made. It comes together once you just give it a try. I will have to make another and I will have better instructions.

Since I haven't had time to write about personal finance, I thought I'd post up some photos from the hectic weekend. I only had my Canon point and shoot camera with me so the images are rather blurry and not as sharp as they should be.freecreditreport

How much would I have been willing to pay for the S20 note in my pocket if the seller had imposed a condition that I could use it as long as I wanted but could never sell it again, or rent it out to someone else? Nothing. buy perfect money e-voucher with paypal
