Here’s another creative way to giving candies to someone using easy accessible materials that’s low-cost. Please scroll below (slide show) for materials that you would need and also view how I did an assembly line per lei. Please excuse my mess, doing other projects for my daughters cheer team. Slide shows 3 patterns with pink curling ribbons in keeping with the pink theme.
Update: Here’s a site that inspired me to make these candy lei’s. Site http://www.guavarose.com/2013/05/kukui-nut-candy-lei/. You can also go on Bling.com and view images for candy leis for inspiration, there’s so many ways and styles to making one. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=candy+leis&FORM=HDRSC2#a
Making candy lies all depends on the size of the candies being used. For the treats I assembled for the lei (adult size, children are less), calculated and cut 4′ long and 5″ (wrap around candy) of the plastic material. For the length give at least 1/2″ space in between candies to tie the curling ribbons. Also, make sure you add at least 1/2″ from the largest candy (wrap around). I found doing an assembly line speeds up the process it’s easy and quick from there. Remember to tape both ends to connect the lei and tie the ribbon around it. You can keep it simple like what I’ve done or add a bow and or even add a tag. It’s limitless on this so do one and be creative!
Note: The smaller your candies the less plastic you cut and use per lei but when the candies are bulky in size the more plastic materials you’d use for both width and length per lei.
Materials: Scissors, clear tape, clear plastic wrap or plastic cling wrap (for food) is good as well, curling ribbons and candies.
