Stages Of The Making of Money Leis

Aloha Gang!! Happy Tuesday. Today I am sharing some images of how I make money leis... I only took this 1 order this year, since I'm quite busy with visiting my grand baby, I didn't want to commit to too many personalized orders. However, these are for family, so I couldn't NOT do them, right?? Anyhow... here's how I create them...

Braid the leis with ribbon....

Fold each bill accordion style... 

Attach 2 bills together with tape and add a ribbon to the middle for decor. 

 Tie rosette flowers to braided ribbon leis...

 Completed leis... colors: Green & Gold... sent to Alaska. Congrats Elliott!!!! 

Aloha,
Jen

Stuffs I Created This Week

Aloha All,

I am thinking of just posting on ONE DAY a week, with all the projects I created throughout the week. Would that be ok?? Let's try that out for now, huh?? I'm usually posting projects daily on my Facebook Group "Little C's Creations", and even behind the scene kinda stuffs, like in between projects... so, if you would like to follow me a lot closer, feel free to hope on to my group and request to be added there. :) 

Ok, so here are a bunch of stuffs that I worked on this week...

Created these graduation cards for the University of Hawaii students that are graduating this year. Yay, congratulations!!!

I used the following items:

• Image: The Greeting Farm
• Cardstock, Sentiments, Die Cut, Splashes and Bursts: Fun Stampers Journey

Then I worked on these 2 lei order, to complete this lei order of 3 leis with 50 bills each... this first lei is an open ended lei, which I also refer to as a "Maile Lei Money Lei". A close family friend of ours ordered these from me.  Thank You, Mika!! So very blessed to be able to make these for Logan!!

 This is the 3rd lei I made, this time adding some green and white cardstock for color of his school.

Then a crafty friend requested this Copic Colored image from The Greeting Farm. So very humbly blessed that she likes my coloring. The image is called "Adam Grad" and is in the digital image part of TGF's store. You can purchase any time, download immediately and then color to make on your project(s). These are the same images I used in the 1st pic of graduation cards. However, those are about 2" while this one is 3". So, I LOVE how digital images work, where I can resize to any size that I want. 

I also made this "Thank You" card for my friend that ordered the above image. Had to mail her the image in something stamped, right?? I also sent her some free goodies, I hope she will be able to use. I used My Favorite Things stamps on this card.

 I then created a card for my boy who is graduating in May. I colored him with a darker skinned colored, because he is a darker young man.

This is the inside....

Last but not least, DVD Envelopes for my parents and inlaws, of images and videos of my son's wedding. I used the We R Memory Makers Envelope Punch Board to make these 5" x 5" DVD Envelopes.

That's it for now! Thanks for stopping by!! Please let me know what you think about my once a week posting... if you like it or not?? Anyways, have a blessed rest of the week...

Aloha,
Jen

Money Rose Bouquet

Finished another order of a Rose Bouquet for graduation... 

$5 Each Rose or $25 for a Rose Bouquet of 5 Roses. It takes 5 bills (can be of any denomination) to make 1 rose. Therefore, total amount of funds given to me would be $5 for each rose requested, PLUS the amount of bills required to make each rose. Please go to the bank, and request CRISP bills, and contact me to coordinate pick up / delivery of funds. If you are not in a location that can meet personally, I can accept payments thru PAYPAL or CASH App. Completed roses will be shipped in a Large Priority Flat Rate Box. An add'l shipping rate of $17.95 will apply. However, if you are on the Island of Oahu, pick up place and time can be arranged. Typical turn around time is 1 week for 5 Roses. Please order 2-3 weeks PRIOR to when you need them.

Aloha,

Video: Graduation Money Lei

It's that time of year again, where graduation lei orders are coming in, not just ANY graduation lei orders, but Graduation Money Lei orders!!! I have 3 more to work on, but this one was a RUSH order. Get this, this one is going to a Korean Pop Star in Korea!!! I met a new friend, through a mutual friend, and she was on her way to Korea. I made this lei during the weekend, and with my new long nails too!!! Below is a video of me creating the lei, I sped it up. It's fun to watch!! I love watching my fingers go to work on those dollars. Here is the finished lei!

Thanking the Lord for the talent and patience that HE has blessed me with to create these beauties.

Graduation Leis 2017

Aloha Gang!!!

We are in full graduation season, and my hands were doing a lot of folding n' stringing, and making money leis for graduates across the seas, and throughout the islands. Here are the leis I made these past couple of weeks...

Made this for my girlfriend's stepson, graduated from a school on the mainland. It was so neat to hear all the great things that people were saying about this one kid having a money lei on. No one else had leis, and here he was, celebrating Hawaiian style. That's what I call, "Spreading the Aloha".

This one was made for my niece.....

This one was the 1st order of the season. LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors on this one.... so pretty with the purple.

My handmade products are available for order!! If you're interested in purchasing my handmade projects, you can stop by my online store here: Little C's Creative Things
