How to Make a Crepe Paper Lei

United Nations Day at OB Montessori Center, Fairview was celebrated last October 12, 2012. Claire was assigned to wear a Hawaiian Costume representing the continent of North America. She wore a grassskirt, bought from Quiapo for P120- I have her Ninang Precious to thank for this. :) It came with a lei for the head, arms and legs but I still opted to make lei for her.

Here's how I did it:
 
1. Cut crepe paper into 1 1/2 inches.
 
 
 

 
 
2. Make a running stitch in the middle of the crepe paper.
 
 


3. Scrunch up the crepe paper -like a paper fan





4. Continue doing the running stitch until desired length is achieved. Tie the two ends together and arrange the crepe paper.
