Graduation leis are a fun tradition for any grad and make a cute and inexpensive gift that everyone will love! These bright and colorful candy leis make the perfect party favor for your graduation party guests.
Roll out and use scissors to cut about 35" to 40" of plastic wrap. Place four medium gumballs on top of the plastic wrap. Place your candy in a row on the bottom third of the plastic wrap. Leave about an inch in between each piece.
Twist the plastic wrap around the candies to so that they are secure.
Tie 4" strips of Neon Ribbon around each side of the wrapped candies. Use different colors of ribbon to create a bright and coloful candy lei.
Repeat the first and second steps until you make 12 spaces filled with candies.
Now the candy lei is complete and ready to tie together.
For the last step, simply overlap the plastic wrap on two ends and tie them together with the ribbon. Double knot the two ends as this is the part that holds the entire lei together.
Now you're ready to give these bright and colorful candy leis to your favorite grads!
