Step 1 Cut It Out
Begin by printing and cutting out the flower and leaf templates. Cut out all flower and leaf shapes - then take a break and rest your hand, you've earned it.
Step 2 Punch and Curl
With all your pieces cut, use the hole punch to create a hole in the center of each flower and at the bottom of each leaf.
Step 3 String it Together
Cut your paper straws into 2-inch pieces. I used three straws for my lei. Begin threading the straws, flowers, and leaves onto your string, following a repeating pattern. I used: straw, leaf, flower, flower, leaf, straw.
