We were in need of more lei, so I decided to try my hand at a different ribbon lei style after watching a reel by @yannyletters.
Unfortunately, the store I went to did not have the correct kind of satin ribbon, so I bought whatever I could find in the colors I needed (because I wasn't about to go to another store).
It was a lot of improvising, making do with the ribbons I had, and I also added kukui nut in between to take up space.
I think the lei turned out pretty decent with the ribbon types I used, but I'm going to stock up on the correct ribbons ahead of time to make a better ribbon petal lei for next graduation season.
It definitely goes to show you that you can make lei with whatever you have on hand or can find, and as long as it is made with intent, the recipient will be appreciative.
