5 Simple Steps To A Tissue Paper Lei
Step 1: Cut the tissue paper into pieces about 3 inches wide and 2 inches long. Twist the middle inch together as shown below.
Step 2: Tie one piece of tissue paper around the rope or ribbon.
Tie a second piece in the same color around or on top of the first one.
Step 3: Repeat with the second color next to the first.
You can use just one color but I like the alternating colors.
Step 4: Leave them slightly spread out about an inch in between colors. I used between 10 and 12 tied pieces for each lei.
Step 5: Fold down the pieces of tissue paper so they are all facing down and on the same side.
You can also glue on a few small fake flowers to the ends for an added decoration.
This is really such a simple way to make festive leis for a Hawaiian or summer pool parties.
