Hula Lei

ShareTh

Cut out some paper or foam flowers and leaves and string
them together into a colorful hula lei.

Safety Tips

Kids 8 years and younger should use

child-safe scissors.

Materials

Elastic string or ordinary string

Colored paper or craft foam

Drinking straws

Scissors

Hole punch

Steps
1. Hula leis can be worn as necklaces, headpieces, bracelets or anklets.
Decide which ones you want to make and cut the appropriate length of
string. Make a knot on one end of your string.

2. Draw and cut flower shapes from colored paper or craft foam. We also
have flower lei templates that you can print and cut out.
For a bracelet or anklet, you will need about 6 to 8 flowers; for a
necklace or headpiece, you will need around 16 to 20 flowers.

3. Draw and cut out leaf shapes from green paper or craft foam. The
leaves should be slightly larger than the flowers. Make the same
number of pieces as the flowers.

4. Punch a hole through the center of each flower and leaf. Make sure
that the hole is big enough for the string to get through.

5. Cut drinking straws into 1-inch long pieces. You'll need approximately
the same number as the flowers.

6. String the pieces together in this order: straw, flower and leaf.

7. When you've strung enough pieces, make a knot right after the last
piece.

8. If you're using an elastic string you can tie both ends of the string
together to complete the lei.

9. If you're using ordinary string, knot both ends as you wear the lei.

Accordion Paper Flowers

Fold a few paper squares like an accordion to turn
them into easy paper flowers. Arrange them on a
vase for a lovely table dcor or use them to make
wreaths, mobiles, and other craft projects.

Safety Tips

Young kids (3 to 8 years) should

use child-safe scissors.

Materials

Paper
Scissors

Glue

Wooden dowels or sticks

Buttons, plastic gems, brads, or other

embellishments (optional)

Steps
1. Prepare 3 to 4 paper squares of the same size. You can use
square origami paper or follow these easy steps for making a
square from any rectangular piece of paper. Gift wrap paper,
magazine pages, and colorful brochures are some examples
of interesting paper options. Try to avoid using cardstock or
paper that is too thick or heavy to fold.

2. To ensure that all the paper squares will have the same fold
width, gather the sheets together, aligning them on all four
sides. While keeping the squares stacked together, make a
to inch wide fold on one side.

3. Separate the sheets. Using the fold width created in the

previous step, fold each paper square like an accordion
(back-and-forth folding).

4. Trim the excess paper after the last fold.

5. Fold each paper accordion in half.

6. Apply glue on the inside of the folded paper accordion. Bring

the two halves towards each other and press firmly to glue
them together.

7. When unfolded, each paper accordion will look like a fan.

These fan-like pieces will make up the sections of your paper
flower and the folds will be the flower petals.

8. As an optional step, you can alter the shape of the flower

petals by trimming the tops of each flower section. After
doing Step 6, draw a curved line or a diagonal line near the
top of the outermost fold. Cut along the line.

To make sure that all flower sections have the same petal
shape, place the trimmed section over an untrimmed one,
aligning them along the edges. Trace the shape of the tops of
the trimmed section onto the section below it. Cut along the
line.

9. Glue the first and second flower sections together, aligning

them along the edges.

10. Glue the third section over the second one, again aligning
along the edges. Glue the fourth section on top of the third
one. Press on the entire pile to glue all the sections in place.
Allow the glue to set for a few minutes before proceeding
with the next step.

11. Apply glue onto the pile's topmost fold and along the base of
the flower sections.

12. Carefully bring the two outermost folds towards each other to
open up the flower. Press on these pair of folds to glue them
together.

13. Gently press the sections towards the center to glue their
bases together.

14. Glue a wooden dowel or stick at the back of each paper

flower to make a stem. Create colorful stems by painting the
dowels or wrapping them with fabric ribbon or washi tape.
Arrange the stemmed flowers on a vase to make a lovely
table dcor.

An accent can be added at the center

of each flower by gluing a paper
circle, a button, a plastic gem, or a
craft brad. Without stems, these
pretty flowers can be used to
decorate wreaths, hats, flower
crowns, and other craft projects. They
can also be taped onto walls, bulletin
boards, or window sills for a nature or
spring-themed room.

More Ideas
Use two paper squares.
Instead of the recommended 34 paper squares, try using 2
squares to come up with a
flower with less petals. The
folds are more stretched open,
emphasizing the individual
petal shapes.

However, when using only two

paper squares, you will need to
secure the middle of each
folded paper accordion to
prevent the folds from
unraveling in the final steps.
After doing Step 5, tie a thin
string or thread around the
middle crease. Cut the length
of excess string and proceed
with the succeeding steps
described in the above
instructions.

Create a variety of paper

flowers.
Variety can be achieved with
flower size, paper color and
print, fold width, petal shape,
and flower center accent.
1.

a.) Flower size - make

small flowers by starting out
with smaller paper squares
and large flowers with
bigger squares.

2.

b.) Paper color and

print - make a colorful
bouquet of flowers by using
a different paper or print for
each flower.

3.

c.) Number of paper

squares - use 2 paper
squares for a flower with
fewer petals. Use 3 or more
paper squares for more
petals. The more paper
squares you use, the more
petals the resulting flower
will have.

4.

d.) Fold width - wider

accordion folds make
flowers with less petals and
narrower folds create more
petals.

5.

e.) Petal shape - come

up with interesting petal
shapes by experimenting
with the snip you make in
Step 8. Try making curved,
straight, steep, or irregular
shaped cuts. You can even
use a pair of edging scissors

to create wavy, scalloped,

and other fancy edges on
the petals.

6.

f.) Embellishments the flowers look good

without further decorating
them but adding buttons,
plastic gems, craft brads,
paper shapes, and other
embellishments at the
center of the paper flowers
make them look even better.

Steps
1. For this necklace, we need 2 sizes of paper or craft foam stars. You
may use pre-cut craft foam stars or cut out your own paper/craft foam
stars.
For this tutorial we are going to make our own paper stars and we will
show you how to make multiple stars all at once using a star pattern.
First, print out the Fold & Cut Stars (1- and 2-inch Stars) on
different colors of cardstock.
*If you're using pre-cut stars, jump to Step 10.

2. I've printed out mine on red, blue and white card stock to make a 4th
of July necklace but you can always print out yours in other colors
and in as many colors as you like.

3. You will notice that the print-out has 4 columns of stars (2 large ones
and 2 smaller ones). Cut out each of the columns.

4. Take one of the columns and fold it along the horizontal line at the
bottom of the star.

5. Continue folding the paper accordion-style (back and forth folding)

until you have folded the entire length.

6. The result should be something like this. The star should be on the top
fold.

7. While keeping the paper folded, cut out along the outline of the star.

8. Each column yields 5 for the big stars and 7 for the smaller stars.

9. Fold and cut out the rest of the print-outs to come up with multicolored stars.

Punch a pair of holes at the center of each big star.

10.

11. Cut out drinking straws into 1-inch long pieces.

12. Cut an elastic string to a length of at least 30 inches. Make a knot

about 2-3 inches from one end. Make the knot large enough to stop
the drinking straw pieces or stars from slipping through. Another
option for preventing the stars and drinking straws from going
through the knot is to use a button. String the button all the way
through until it touches the knot.

13. First, string a drinking straw. Next, a star, stringing through one hole
and going out the other hole.

14. String the drinking straws and stars alternately until you have covered
the entire length of the string.
*A 30-inch long string will need about 15 stars and 15 drinking straw
pieces.

15. Tie the ends of the string together, right below the button. Trim off the
excess length of string.

16. Position the stars so that all of them are in front while the drinking
straws are at the back.

17. Glue a smaller star at the center of each big star.

18. Once the glue dries, you may try on your starry necklace!

More Ideas
Instead of stringing stars all along the length of the string, you can opt to string
stars only at the front part of the necklace. To achieve this, first string 6 drinking
straw pieces, then alternate 6 big stars with 6 drinking straws. After which, string
another 6 drinking straw pieces before joining the ends of the string together.
*I used pre-cut craft foam stars for this particular necklace.

I added a smaller third star at the center of each of these paper stars. I used a star
craft punch to make the tiny stars (you can also use star sequins or rhinestones) for
this 4th of July necklace.

Steps
1. To make the flowers, choose from any of these options:

Print out any of these flower sets or these flower shape sets.
Color and cut out the flowers.
Fold and cut your own paper flowers following our instructions

Make these colorful coffee filter flowers or plastic wrap flowers.

Draw, color, and cut out your own flowers.

2. Cut out a 1 wide strip of green construction paper long enough to go

around your head.

3. Glue the flowers along the length of the paper strip.

4. Leave at least a half-inch margin at the end of the paper strip. Apply glue
on this end.

5. Glue this end at the back of the other end of the strip to form a circular
crown. Once the glue dries, you can try on your flower crown.

More Ideas

Using different kinds of flowers makes a very interesting crown. You also
don't necessarily need to position the flowers in a straight arrangement; you
can place some slightly higher or lower along the strip. Overlapping flowers
can also make your crown look lusher.

Watch out for this sign

. It means
adult help is needed for the particular step.

Buttons, beads, sequins, etc. (optional)

Steps
1. Choose your wand's main shape from any of the printables below.
Print out the template on Letter or A4 size paper:

Butterfly shapes - Sets 1 to 3

Butterfly coloring pages - Sets 1 to 4

Flower shapes - Sets 1 to 4

Heart - Set 1

Star - 4" stars or 5" stars

Strawberry - Set 1

2. Cut out the paper shapes and trace around them on felt.

3. Cut out the felt shapes. You may notice that some patterns (e.g.
flower, heart, star) include smaller shapes that you can optionally
place at the center of the main shape. The strawberry pattern
includes a pair of leaf crown shapes that you can position on top of
the strawberries.

If your pattern includes smaller shapes as described in Step 3, sew

4. on each smaller felt shape at the center of a main shape. For the
strawberry pattern, sew each leaf crown on top of a felt strawberry.

You can further stitch on some beads, buttons, sequins, small

5. pompoms, more felt shapes or other little charming details.

Put the two felt shapes back-to-back and aligned along the edges.
6. Stitch the two together along the edges, leaving a 1.5 to 2-inch
opening at the bottom of the shapes. This opening is for the dowel
and the cotton stuffing.

7. Obtain a wooden dowel and decorate it either by painting it with

any water-based paint or by wrapping a fabric ribbon around the
entire length of the dowel. Fix the ends of the ribbon with a glue
gun or with tacky glue.

8. Apply hot glue gun adhesive or tacky glue on one end of the dowel.
Insert this end inside the opening of the felt shape and press it
against the felt to glue it in place.

9. Once the glue has set, stuff cotton, polyester or small scraps of felt
inside the wand shape. You may add a small bell or two for a fun
rattling sound.

Sew the opening shut to complete your felt wand. This cute wand
10. can be used as a rattle, an exciting pointer (to spice up a child's first
learning activities) or worn as part of a charming fairy costume.

More Ideas

If you wish to minimize or refrain from sewing, you can replace some or all
of the sewing steps with hot glue gun. This strawberry wand made use of
both sewing and hot glue. All the details were attached using hot glue gun
except for the edges, which were hand-sewn.
An important thing to note is that using hot glue gun is a lot quicker but it
doesn't bond as strongly as good stitching does. If you plan to make a wand
for kids below the age of three, it is strongly recommended that you sew the
parts instead of gluing them on. Small objects coming off such as beads or
buttons can be a choking hazard.

To make additional details that protrude out of your wand's main shape such
as this butterfly's felt antennae, you can glue or sew the detail onto one main
felt shape before proceeding with Step 6.

String or ribbon

Scissors

Glue stick

Hole punch

Paper clips

Steps
1. To make a pair of identical hearts, fold an A4 size, US Letter, or any
rectangular paper in half.

2. Fold it again in half.

3. Draw half-a-heart along the paper's long folded edge.

4. Cut along the heart outline.

5. Unfold both pieces to reveal a pair of identical hearts.

*Instead of doing Steps 1 to 5, you can also print out two copies of the
large heart (Set 4) from these heart templates. Cut out each heart.

6. If you wish to make concentric hearts, create a pair of smaller hearts

and glue each at the center of a big heart.

7.

Position the pair of hearts back-to-back, aligning them along the

edges. Punch an even number of holes around the heart's edge.
*Placing some paper clips along the edges will help hold the hearts in
place while you punch holes.

8. Cut a long length of ribbon or string. Start lacing on the hole closest
to the heart's top center. Lace the ribbon over and under the holes.

9. Stop when you've laced halfway around the heart.

10. Write a Valentine note and fold the paper into a size that fits inside the
heart. Place the note in between the pair of hearts.

11. Continue lacing until you reach the last hole.

12. Tie the excess length of ribbon into a bow. Decorate, draw, or write a
short Valentine greeting on the front of your heart envelope. You can
even glue on a photo at the center.
Your folded Valentine note is safely tucked inside your beautiful heart
envelope. Whoever opens it will have to carefully unlace the ribbon to
read the message inside.

More Ideas
You won't need any decorations if you use patterned card stock to make
the hearts. Choose a colored string or ribbon that matches or contrasts
with the paper.

If making concentric hearts, try layering hearts with interesting color

combinations. You can layer plain and patterned hearts for contrast.

Glue

Markers or colored pencils

Things to decorate your greeting card with: crayons,

oil pastels, sequins, stickers, ribbons, lace, small paper shapes, stamps,
glitter glue, etc.

Steps
1. There are two options to make this greeting card. The first is using
our heart greeting card template. Print it out on A4 or Letter size
cardstock. Cut the template along the solid lines and fold along the
dashed lines. Go to Step 6 for decorating ideas.
The second option is to make the greeting card from scratch. Start out
with any rectangular piece of cardstock or construction paper. Position it
horizontally on a flat surface. Mark the middle of the paper with a light
pencil mark.

2. Fold the right edge towards the middle.

3. Similarly fold the left edge towards the middle. Your greeting card now
has a pair of front flaps that can be opened and closed.

4. Draw a heart starting from the middle and extending on both flaps. To
ensure that the front and back of your greeting card are connected, the
corners of the heart should go over the edges of the paper.

5. While keeping the paper folded, cut out the greeting card along the heart
outline.

6. Decorate the front of your greeting card by drawing, coloring, or

painting designs on it. You can also use glitter glue or puffy paint to
make dots, lines, and patterns.
Another option is to glue on a variety of materials such as sequins,
ribbons, lace, paper shapes, small buttons, or any other decorative
materials that you already have.

7. Write a greeting inside the card. If the paper is too dark to write on, you
can cut a smaller heart from any light-colored paper and write your
greeting on it. Glue this at the center of your greeting card.

8. With a sticker or a short piece of tape to seal the front, your greeting card
is all set to be delivered!

More Ideas
Adding a ribbon can add charm and at the same time seal the front of your
greeting card. Punch a hole close to the straight edge of each flap. Weave a
ribbon through both holes and tie it into a bow to keep the greeting card
closed.

If you use patterned paper or cardstock, you won't need to decorate the front
of your card. This is a great idea if you need to make several greeting cards.

You can decorate the front with a smaller heart to create a framed heart
look. Aside from regular paper, you can cut out the heart out of felt, fabric,
giftwrap paper, or textured paper. I used coffee filter paper colored with
food coloring to create a cool tie-dyed effect. See details on this technique
at our Coffee Filter Flowers craft.
Regardless of what material you choose, remember to cut the middle of the
heart before gluing it onto the front of your greeting card.
