DIY_Paper_Flower_LeiFor this lei I used  metallic papers that I selected from paper-papers.com. I used the frosted text weight of Punch, Amethyst, Lime Satin and Gold. You can find all of the tools and materials needed listed on the right hand side at the top of this post – including links to our top-match paper picks from our shop for this project. Of course you can choose the tropical colors to coordinate with your colorful party.

These flowers are so simple to make and easy to assemble into a lei. Though you can cut each by hand, I am also offering the SVG files for you to use on your cutting machines. Of course I did use my Cricut Explore, making this even simpler to create. For each lei I cut 12 of each of the three blooms and 32 leaves. Each lei uses 2 sheets of the Punch, Amethyst and Lime and one sheet of Gold, so 7 total per lei. Once you have your blooms cut you can follow my step-by-step tutorial below to assemble your leis. For the straws, I simply hot glued two blooms and one leaf to a lime green chevron straw.
