Truth be told:  talk of Hawaii is currently bigger than Halloween, in our household. After reading a book about a little girl living in Hawaii, (here: Aloha, Kanani,)  our daughter's been telling us everyday that "we should move to Hawaii*" and  I've decided .... to make Hawaiian Flower Leis.

HOW-TO:

SUPPLIES:
Jersey Ribbon (or any full bodied ribbon will do)
Fabric Hole Punch (here)
Fabric Scissors
Felt Flowers
(PDF FLOWER template, here)

Upper Left: Supplies

Upper Right and Middle Row:
Cut appropriate length of jersey. Cut flowers and leaves (template here). Punch holes in the centers of the flowers and holes along the edge of the leaves. Tie one knot in the center of the ribbon. Begin by threading on the first flower to this point on the ribbon. This will be the center flower. Continue: make a second tie approximately 3 inches from the first flower on either side. Slide on second flower and  ontinue on the other side. Working outwards until the necklace is complete. Tie appropriate length to finish and it's ready for wearing or decoration!

Bottom Row:
Before starting, it have be helpful to plan your pattern, by laying it out. Not pattern: one knot, then flower; repeating this until reaching complete full length.
