My first attempt at a lei made with dollar bills.  Made this for our son who graduated from high school last night.

I would make it a bit differently if I ever do it again…it took about 5 hours to make!  Used $55 one dollar bills and some flowers cut out of plastic table cloths using the recently retired flower folds die to add the school colors.  I don't have instructions, just looked up how to videos on youtube.

Our son is graduating from high school next week.  Here is the announcement.  No stamping but I used SU! cardstock!

Another version of the purse using retired DSP.
