A flower lei has become a symbol of welcome for visitors to Hawaii. Different flowers and colors represent each island: Niihau - white; Kauai - purple; Oahu - yellow; Maui - pink; Molokai - green; Lanai - orange, Kahoolawe - grey; Big Island of Hawaii - red. Great project for VBS.

Instructions

Separate flowers from bush. Pull apart each individual flower so that you only have petals.

Cut twelve 2” x 6” strips of yellow textured paper with decorative edge scissors.

Roll strips of paper around dowel, slide off and glue edges to form a tube
(paper bead). Make 12.

Cut a 36” length of elastic cord. Thread 2 decorative beads, a paper bead, 2 more decorative beads, and a flower cluster onto cording. Continue threading beads and flowers until you reach the desired length. Tie cording together at end in double knot.
