Steps

  • Step 1

    Roll a small amount of Crayola Model Magic into a cone shape.

    Gently press the cone to flatten it, creating a flower petal. Repeat and attach the two flower petals. Model Magic that is fresh from the pack will stick to itself. Dried pieces can be glued together.

  • Step 3

    Cut colorful straws into small pieces. Use these as spacers between each flower on the lei.

  • Step 4

    Allow the Model Magic flowers to dry, and then use brightly colored ribbon to string together the flowers and straws. Tie the end of the ribbon into a knot. Put on your lei and do the hula! Aloha!
