A typical money lei could, for example, consist of 30 $1 bills and 30 paper flowers, 50 $1 bills or even 20 $5 bills and 20 flowers. The variety and amount is up to you.
This begins an accordion-style folding pattern.
You’ll find it’s easiest to evenly disperse the bills if you tie them to the string in between the beads. That way you can place them a determined number of beads apart.
Cut colored paper into money-sized rectangles. You can choose a single color or a variety of colors. Fold each paper rectangle in the same accordion style you folded the money. Wrap a rubber band around the center in the same manner, as well. Attach the folded paper to the necklace Just as you attached the money, use a small piece of tape and ribbon to attach the paper flowers to the necklace. You can add as many paper flowers as you like in between the money.
