Get your tropical vibes on for Splish Splash Week of Camp Fun with these colorful Hawaiian floral leis! This craft kit comes with pre-cut foam flowers and plastic straw spacers, making assembly easy even for younger campers. Stella and Hazel had a blast stringing together their floral leis in all the colors of the rainbow and then wearing them to the pool along with the Fabulous Floral Sunglasses that they also made! The floral leis craft kit comes with enough flowers for 12 leis, making it a fun pool party activity.
To start your lei using the craft kit, run the yellow string through one of the spacers and tie a double knot. This will prevent your flowers from falling off the end of the string while you build your lei.
Thread the other end of the string through a darning needle with a blunt end. Then poke the needle through the pre-cut hole in the center of flower.
Continue stringing on flowers and spacers. You can layer several flowers on top of each other and then add a spacer if you want, or do a single flower followed by a spacer. You can mix up the size of the flowers too!
Continue making your lei until it is long enough to wrap around your neck. Finish by tying a knot around another spacer at the end, similar to Step 1.
