*Cash - in whatever denomination you like - I used $1 bills and needed 36.
*Scotch Removable tape - this stuff holds well but is very easy to remove from the money. You want the person you make the lei for to actually be able to use the money, right? - amzn.to/44z0bbo
*And if you don’t have a tape dispenser, this makes life so much easier - amzn.to/3UwIrJa
*Yarn or string - I used #3 weight cotton yarn
*7/8-inch ribbon for the neck - amzn.to/3UQ1C1T
*14 mm beads in the school colors - I needed 11 beads total.
*Two pieces of colored cardstock in the school’s colors cut to about 6.14 x 2.61 inches (or you can just trace around the dollar bills and cut the paper to the same size). I needed two of each of my two colors.
Optional:
*24-gauge jewelry wire for use in threading the beads and bills onto the yarn/string - amzn.to/3UUD9c4
*Krazy glue or hot glue - amzn.to/3Uw81y8
*Lighter to lightly burn the cut ends of the ribbon so it doesn’t fray.
Happy crafting!
