Make your own leis with tissue paper
Flower garland necklaces frequently worn at a luau are called "leis." Leis are popular in Hawaii and the Polynesian islands and are often a offering of greetings and friendship. In the summer, luau-themed parties are very popular and leis are a common party staple. Using tissue paper and string you can create your own leis in colors of your choosing.
Instructions
1. Thread the crochet needle with 3 feet of crochet thread.
2. Tie a knot on the other end of the thread 3 inches from the end of the thread.
3. Stick the crochet needle through the center of a stack of tissue paper squares. The squares do not need to be even on the sides, but they should all be even in the center. Experiment with how many squares you can press the needle through at one time to make the project run faster.
4. Pull the tissue paper to the knot at the end of the thread.
5. Continue this process until the lei has reached the desired length.
6. Cut the thread from the needle and tie a knot at the end.
7. Knot the two ends together to create a circular lei and place the lei around the neck.
