Ingredients
bills
Ribbon
fresh lei
Instructions
Fold the bill in half lengthwise
Fold all of the corners in to make two points on each end of the bill
Make small folds lengthwise, flipping the bill as you fold to make an accordion fold
Fold that bill together evening in the center
Take the other bill and fold it in half like a mountain crease
Do the same accordion fold to this bill
Put the two bills together, matching them in the center and tie with a small ribbon.
Cut the ribbon to leave small antennas for the butterfly.
Tie the butterfly around the string of the lei
