Recycled paper hawaiian lei

Step 4 Thread beads and flowers

Take a length of string (somewhere around 80cms seems to be long enough to be able to get your head through) and knot one end. Thread a needle on the other end and begin by threading on one bead, then pierce the needle through two flowers facing BACK TO BACK one at a time, i.e. have the points of the flowers touching. Continue with the bead and pair of flowers combination until you reach the desired length. Tie the two ends together, cut off tails and that's it.

Get creative and form your own patterns based on paper colour, bead colour, or shape combinations.
