- How To Make A Money Lei! Easier than what it looks!
Step-by-step instructions on how to make your own money lei! These are perfect gifts for any celebrations, especially graduations!
What you will need:
- dollar bills (crisper bills seem to hold better)
- ribbon
- ruler
-scissors
- flowers (I bought 2 cheap leis-- but used 1 full one and part of the second one-- and cut it apart so I could just use the flowers)
- beads
- paper clip
- tape
There is no right or wrong way to make your own money lei, I'm just simply showing you how I made mine!
*If you want to use 50 $1 bills you could use the pattern of a bill, a bead, a bill, and etc, or use less beads/use smaller beads with the same pattern I used. I used 35 $1 bills, 1 $5 bill, and 1 $10 bill, to equal a $50 lei [after I took the pics I realized I was $1 short so I added another dollar which then made it 35 $1 bills...oops! :) ]. My lei came to around 46 inches in length.
Be creative with yours!
Have fun making your money lei!

watched and learned 3 years ago. visiting again in 2023. SO GOOD. ❤
I think that this is the best of all tutorials I have seen. Super clear, nothing extraneous, just really well done. Thank you!
Best tutorial iv seen by far!! Thank you so much
Love this video, you said this lei is about 46inches in length. I just wish you would have put it on so we can see how long it was in comparison to an adult neckline. So to make adjustments for kids size
omg you save me money for buying one for my son's graduation. I was gonna buy a $50 money lei plus however much i was gonna put in to the lei but this looks easy to make. Thank you so much.
Loved this video. It's just what I'd like to make for my daughter's graduation. Thank you so much. Bless you
Thank you so much for your tutorial! Super informative and the lei looks wonderful! I was able to make this for my lil sis when she graduated uni last year and I'm super excited to make another one for my lil bro when he graduates! 😊😊
Thank you for this beautiful tutorial. I was checking to order exotic fresh flower leis from Hawaii plus expensive express shipping plus extra money on packaging. Your money leis are way better and cost a lot less! Thank you!
Thank you it's so easy (and cheap) all is available in dollar store amazing
This is perfect you're a great teacher/explainer! I've been looking to make a money lei and your video was the most awesome!! You're great in explaining and showing us exactly how to do it!!! I'm going to do this for my boyfriend's graduation tomorrow, thanks to you I have all the exact supplies needed I'm excited to do it!! Xo-Jess!
Thank you! Hope you had fun making it! :D
This is an awesome tutorial. You have a great way of explaining making it easy to follow. I am going to give this a try. My daughter will be culminating from elementary and has been asking me for a lei. Thank you!!!
This project turned out great . Thank you for the inspiration , this is a great way to give money as a gift rather than in a card .. I'm gonna give it a try for my sons 13th Bithday .
Kimikim Inurface such a fun way to give money as a gift! thank you for watching! :)
If you used balloon string it's alot easier to thread.
LOVE IT♡♡ I'll be doing 2 and I loved the way yours came out..
+alicia thank you so much! have fun making yours! :)
This is got be the nicest lei I've watch thanks for sharing
Love this lei!!! What size are the beads you're using?
Thank you. Can't wait to make my son's leis using flowers or candy in between the money. Thank you so much.
carol johnson awesome! thank you for watching! :)
this is awesome! thank you!
you explain it very well step by step.
Bianca Ramirez thank you for watching! :D
I found similar if not the same beads at dollar tree they are 0.6 (17 mm)
How big are the beads?
Thank you for making this tutorial! Bc of this I was able to make four money leis for my friends hehe
+Annetlam awesome!! thanks so much for watching! :)
Thank you for share your video God bless you
I got my supplies from the dollar tree for the lei and beads from Michaels supply store, (here in San Diego California) it was a total of $7 not including the money of course! I loved your video thanks again!!!
wow that's awesome- $7! Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Hi! If i where to use less money would it change anything? Would it just change the size of the lei? Great video :)
Rosa Simental yup, if you use less dollar bills it will just change the length of the lei. if you wanted to make it longer, you could always add more beads, or even cut pieces of paper to the size of the dollar bills (and fold them like you would do to the dollar bills) and add those to the lei, etc. thank you for watching! :)
My son is going to love this.
This has helped me many times for birthdays and other just because gifts to bless someone. I believe it is a good present as many people give money to place on the Lei. Especially for a Pastor.
I’ve made this money lei about 3 or 4 times but I always forget was size beads are used. Does anybody know?
Thank you for including the amount so I know how much to withdrawal!
Thank you so much for this tutorial... It's the greatest one I've seen and you explain everything so clearly. My Granddaughter is graduating next year in Hawaii and I'd like to surprise her with this lei... That Grandma made! I've read all the review so I was able to write down everything from the ribbon size and length, the bead size, and how much money you used. I would like to even it out to 40.00 even. What length would you recommend I cut the ribbon as I know I have to add 3 more beads and maybe 3 more flowers. Again thank you I love it!!!!!
Be prepared to spend about 90 minutes threading the lei. The taping of the folded dollar bills will take about 1-2 hours.
simple yet very concise video tutorial ... great teacher .. thank you. I have 50 $1 bills - how long of the ribbon do I need?
+Ivy Montilla thank you for watching! Personally, I would start off with the same amount of ribbon, but maybe not add as many beads, if you are going to be using 50 $1 bills. If you used the same pattern as I did, but with 50 $1 bills the lei would be very long (seeing that I used a total of 37 bills- 35 $1 bills, 1 $10 bill, 1 $5 bill). Hope this makes sense and helps!
might make this
Love it made my niece one ,,, it came out pretty thank yu so much
Maria Garza that's awesome! thank you for watching! :D
Hey there mate, cool flick that you have here. Great stuff.
How many bills did you use? I hope you see this today because I need to make this tonight for my sister's graduation tomorrow. >_
+Amy Dinh Hi! I used a total of 37 bills (35- $1, 1- $5, 1- $10) totaling to $50. Have fun making yours! :)
Thank you for teaching me.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! So helpful and detailed. Can you tell me where you purchased your yellow and black faux flower lei? That is the exact colors for my sisters graduation and would love to get one today! Thank you!
Nevermind, I saw you replied to a comment below on where you got your lei's. hehe
very beautiful might make it my self!! where did you purchase the lei? I actually need those colors for my sister's graduation.
araisachavez thank you! Such a great graduation gift! :) I actually purchased 2 leis (I used one complete lei and a some (not very many) flowers of the second- it really depends on how many flowers come on one lei and how you assemble your money lei- which will determine how many leis you will need) from Amazon.com because at the time I was not able to find these colors in stores. But some party supply stores may have these leis if you don't want to purchase from Amazon.com. Thanks for watching my video! :)
I love this! Thank you, I am going to try it.
What's The Size Of The Ribbon? Thick Wise
+Cristina Pagaza i used 1/4 inch ribbon
omg! so cute and simple!
Hey wat size ribbon is that
looks great! Thanks for sharing.
Mahalo!! Good job on the how to video!
Chris Slack thank you for watching!
carly7xoxo The lei turned out great! took me 6 hours and I was still working on it while sitting through the graduation! I ended up using $56 one's.
Chris Slack awesome! it definitely is time consuming, but I really like how it turns out! :)
+Chris Slack lolz
Awesome I love it! Making this for my sister. :)
916nicoya yay! thanks for watching! :)
good evening. I would like to know how many folds you make? and where is the best place to purchase the flowers? and what would you charge for your time for a 50.00 lei
Thanks for watching! I have not counted how many folds, however I use the line on the dollar bill as a guide (as shown in the vid). Flowers can be found at any party store, craft stores, dollar tree stores, online- lots of options :)
how did you end up with flowers at the end if you started with a bead and then the dollar
Letty Hernandez good question! i actually untied the knot in the beginning and decided i wanted to add the flowers before that first bead :)
I loved it 👏
did you use all the beads in the bag? and what size were the beads? were they the 12 mm rounds?
Franciska Tapparo the beads I used were 12mm. I bought the bag that came with 120 beads and I had around 50 leftover. :)
About how long does it take to make?
Ribbon lei
so you added the flowers at the end, when you finished?
+Letty Hernandez correct! Before I tied the two ends together I added the flowers to the beginning end!
Love it!!!
Love It
Cristina Cruz thank you! :D
Where did you buy the beads? How much did they cost?
NhuLover I believe I got my beads from Joann craft store. I can't say that I remember how much they costed, but I do think they were under $5. If you search "wood beads" on the Joann website, you can look at some great bead options for your lei! :)
this was way more easier than the other videos
Love this one 😊
can you actually use the bills or do you have to throw them out afterwards?
you can definitely use the bills! the ribbon will have to be cut to take the bills off and the tape will just have to be taken off or cut so that you can unfold the bills. :)
my sister is having a graduation on saterday.
Carly7xoxo- Do You Sell Them? So we can purchase them
+Cristina Silva i'm sorry, unfortunately I do not sell them :(
love it thank you
how many ft of ribbon did you use?
+Sherri Scott I measured out 12 feet of ribbon, but had some excess at the end (but not a whole lot- I figured it's better to have more ribbon than not enough!).
Thanks
okay thank you
+Letty Hernandez you're welcome! :)
What Size was the ribbon you use?
Camille Marzan i used 1/4 inch ribbon! :)
food?
food indeed
fooooOood!?!?!?
FOOOOoood?
