I know it's just a little off topic but I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a money lei? It's my kids graduation in a few weeks and my wife has this as a must do for this event. You can imagine when she asked me about a Money Lei, I thought it was a indescent proposal or something

Money Lei. "Money leis are usually given for special occasions such as graduations and 'extra special' birthdays or anniversaries," explains Cheryl. Follow these steps to create a cash circle:

# Fold the bill in half horizontally, then fold forward and backward to create fan pleats.

# With the folded paper lying flat, pinch the middle and bring the two ends together.

# Each circle is made using four bills folded in this fashion. Place them together in a circle, fanning them out and affixing a small adhesive tab on the end of each segment to attach it to the adjoining bill.

 

I found this on Creating Keepsakes, but I want to also tell you about something else to do. I great way to give money as a gift also is to get a really big/full boquett of flowers and then roll up $1 bills on stick them in among the flowers. It is a great to see peoples faces when they realize there is money in their flowers.

Here is the stuff from Creating Keepsakes

Take the money and buy an open-ended maile vine lei... it's much more meaningful
