Crafts: Congratulations Tommy!

Yesterday was one of our best friend, Tommy's, graduation from the University of Washington. In Hawaii, it's customary to give flower leis to the graduate. It gets to the point where you can't even see over them, you get so many.

Even though we're in Seattle, I wanted to give a lei to Tommy, so I made one out of some extra scrap book paper I had.

I looked up how to make some paper flowers for a lei and found a good tutorial on Instructables.
I crocheted a chain out of yarn and strung the paper flowers on it. The chain is knotted in between the flowers so there is a little space between them.
Me, Tommy and Kevin.

Congratulations, Tommy. We're so proud of you!

Thanks Jen, I really love the lei. I think it is better than actual flower leis because I can keep it forever
