The hard candy one might be super fun at music festivals, you could let people take their favorite flavor. The necklace would get lighter the more you give away! 🥳
I’m Spanish and in my family we have this tradition that at 12 am on the night of your birthday we wake up the person and give them a lei with their favourite things on them and then sing happy birthday . It’s one of my favourite memories from my childhood .
Hi Emmy, Thank you so much for being here and making content for us. I'm having another rough one and I was about to do something and said "wait, I need someone here with me" and I went straight to youtube and typed in your channel, and now I'm actually crying in relief. You really do a lot to brighten my day and I know you do the same for others. Thank you so much for sharing your fun and love with us, I needed it so badly today.
This is so adorable! I have never seen or heard of it. I wish I’d known in time to make one for my nieces and nephews, but you can be sure that from now on, I’ll be doing it for my daughters, student teachers, etc…Thank you for your original, fun content.
Emmy! I used to make these for all of my classmates except with Christmas candy. I had no idea anyone else did this. What a core memory you just unlocked for me!
Oh, my! I thought this was something that Guam, Hawaii, and other islands did during graduation! How wonderful to think that other countries do this too. 🎉🎉🎉
My wife and I had a Hawaii theme wedding. We invited families and wanted something to give to the kids. I told my wife about the candy leis we used to get in Hawaii. We used Hawaii/Japanese candies. They were a big hit.
Many got simular stuff when I graduated eh way to many years ago. We just tied a ribbon to the candy wraps so we don't use lots of extra plastic for nothing. It's allready wrapped. Or glue to the wrap and the ribbon. Also easy to eat with it all still around neck
I've done this technique on a wire frame ($tree has several shapes) can be theme like the red white and blue i just did for 4th of July, Labor Day or memorial day! I'm leaving up year around bcz that's how patriotic I feel these days! The will be cool for a birthday person or even a bridal party/bachelorette!
This is making me jealousss all over again lol my cousins all got candy/money leis when they graduated, but I moved away from hawaii before I graduated so I didn’t get the super extra celebrations 😩
Wow. Absolutely no one did anything even remotely similar for me. Truly. Never in my entire lifetime has anyone celebrated anything I ever did, nor my birthday. I cannot even imagine how I would react to such kindness.
When we were kids, my mom made holiday wreaths using just two styrofoam wreath forms, a ton of hard candies, and a glue gun. They were on our double front door for the whole holiday season. 🍬
Here we can buy the cellophane tubes or mesh tubes to make candy lei be creative you can put quarters, snacks, anything you can think of into a gift lei.
Only thing I'm thinking about is the last time I had jolly ranchers (from a huge bag like that too!), and welding my teeth together to the point I couldn't open my mouth for about half an hour, those things are lethal... :P
I imagine the Tootsie Roll or Jolly Rancher ones would be nice keepsakes even after the candy is consumed. You wouldn't need to take it apart to remove eat the candy, and the leftover wrappers would still be colorful and voluminous.
Those are great Emmy. Can you show us the various ways to make the different styles of money Lei? Thank you Always appreciate your hard work and inspiration ❤😊💐🫶
People in Hawaii actually wear them, they are traditional and used celebrations and other events. May 1st is lai day. Graduation lais are extremely popular. Like all the craft stores atm here are filled with supplies to make graduation lai. And you will even get lai made our of money for graduation. There are even artists who make really complicated beautiful lei.
@@LifeLostSoul thanks for the heads up! I'd feel a bit awkward about wearing something like that if I were not a hawaii native, like cultural appropriation
oh, but "frito lei" was a missed opportunity for a Very Nice pun....
I dunno, I think the F-lei-min' Hot Cheetos looked like a lot of fun! Haha
That's hilarious!
🤣 Both good!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
😂
@@lenileaver3983 Hileirious, even! XD

"babe what's wrong, you've barely touched your snickers lei" 😂
I loved receiving this kind of Lei. It is so thoughtful and beautiful
Look at you at the end, all decked out in gorgeous candy like some statue in a shrine - love it!
An awesome Pacific Island tradition done beautifully Emmy! 😍 Well done!
Im polynesian and learnt something new! Its been a long time since i was gifted one of these leis but im so happy I will be able to make one now ❤

You did a great job taking care of yourself by coming here and finding comfort!
Flamin' Cheetos Lei, Emmy knows EXACTLY what is near and dear to the Undergrad's heart, lol
This is so adorable! I have never seen or heard of it. I wish I’d known in time to make one for my nieces and nephews, but you can be sure that from now on, I’ll be doing it for my daughters, student teachers, etc…Thank you for your original, fun content.
This video takes me back to old school Emmy in the best way. I've always loved this kind of succinct content from you!
I bet the kids were happy after this post. All that candy🍬🍫🍭
Emmy! I used to make these for all of my classmates except with Christmas candy. I had no idea anyone else did this. What a core memory you just unlocked for me!
I learned so much from your show. I love your show, thank you for teaching me so many cool things.
Those were absurdly charming!
Even better than candy is all the amazing graduates standing up for humanity. Free 🍉 🍉 🍉!!!
Graduation season !!!
Just when I thought Emmy couldn't get any cuter your thumbnail for this video is adorable.😄
What a fun project, can be adapted to so many events. Edit for spelling)
Brings back memories when I was a child.
So cute! Love these!
So cute and fun! Wonder if there’s a way we could make it without all the single use plastic
Oh, my! I thought this was something that Guam, Hawaii, and other islands did during graduation! How wonderful to think that other countries do this too. 🎉🎉🎉
YUMMY!! Love these.. ❤
I think I'd personally love the Flamin' Hot Cheetos lei!
Thanks Emmy.. so stinkin' cute!! 🍬
very lovely, the colors are nice
Now, walk into a movie theater wearing all of those leis.
😅
My wife and I had a Hawaii theme wedding. We invited families and wanted something to give to the kids. I told my wife about the candy leis we used to get in Hawaii. We used Hawaii/Japanese candies. They were a big hit.
So festive and happy! 🌻😁
Yay! Thank you so much for making this video Emmy!! 👨🏻🎓❤
🍬🍬🍬 Time to celebrate! 🍬🍬🍬 Such a cute idea. Thanks, Emmy ❣️
This is so clever!

I love this!! My step daughter just graduated and we just had her grad party over the weekend! But these are great!
These would be pretty cute as garlands too.
Oh we love a craft queen!!
I've done this technique on a wire frame ($tree has several shapes) can be theme like the red white and blue i just did for 4th of July, Labor Day or memorial day! I'm leaving up year around bcz that's how patriotic I feel these days!
The will be cool for a birthday person or even a bridal party/bachelorette!
These are so much fun to give 🥰
So cute for birthday parties: give them to the atendees as they're leaving.
🍬🍬🍬Time to celebrate!🍬🍬🍬 Thanks, Emmy.
Great job. I will make my granddaughter one thanks
Love this!! Thank you!
This looks neat and a fun DIY ❤
I read the title as DIY lies 😂 to be honest, im actually excited it's candy lays 💚
Love this😁
I love it!!!! This will help me for next year 8th grade graduation. I’m wondering how can I add money to the airheads lei 🤔
This is making me jealousss all over again lol my cousins all got candy/money leis when they graduated, but I moved away from hawaii before I graduated so I didn’t get the super extra celebrations 😩

Mmmmmmm snacklace!!!! 😅😂
So beautiful! FYI..... lei is singular and plural..... no "s" to indicate plural

Oh so cute ❤
You're so creative 🎉🎊
That's an awesome t-shirt 😊
OMG...Candy Lei was my drag name!
I feel like with the jolly rancher one, you could cut up drinking or boba straws and use them as spacers or beads so you don't use so many?
Same with the Fruit Chews.
Cute!!!! ❤
Always wanted to know how to do this!!!!!!!
I love your t-shirt!!
This was really cool
❤ Nice, so EASY to make..
Here we can buy the cellophane tubes or mesh tubes to make candy lei be creative you can put quarters, snacks, anything you can think of into a gift lei.
Just made some last night for a little one's graduation!
Great idea ! Thank U 🙏🏼
Only thing I'm thinking about is the last time I had jolly ranchers (from a huge bag like that too!), and welding my teeth together to the point I couldn't open my mouth for about half an hour, those things are lethal... :P
Great idea !!!!
You're the best! 😂😂
I’m going to try making one with AirHeads for my sister. ❤
ok now a video of taking one candy out of each lei lol
"🍬🍬🍬Time to celebrate!🍬🍬🍬" :P
Here at 1 minute 🎉 so excited for this video
That looks heavy 😂
I imagine the Tootsie Roll or Jolly Rancher ones would be nice keepsakes even after the candy is consumed. You wouldn't need to take it apart to remove eat the candy, and the leftover wrappers would still be colorful and voluminous.
Brilliant idea!
When you take an Aithead from the ~paperchain, you've broken the whole thing?
I’m going to make one and give it to my son for graduating 5th grade :)
🍬🍬🍬Time to celebrate!🍬🍬🍬
We used to make these when I was a kid in Hawai’i.
How much fun this would be vitntage candies (such as Zots) be?!
The airhead one was literally my favorite one ❤️😍
Those are great Emmy. Can you show us the various ways to make the different styles of money Lei? Thank you
Always appreciate your hard work and inspiration ❤😊💐🫶
How stinkin cute. I'm doing the cheeto one for sure
Emmy!
I'm literally on lei duty! Thanks for tutorial!
It's almost June, graduation was weeks ago.
Don't fall asleep with it on. You'll wake up covered in ants.
Nice
I love your content, graduation is a meaningless event
Does anyone have any idea how long one should be for kindergarten so a five-year-old?
What size chip bags are those?
❤❤❤
The ones with Jolly Ranchers or Fruit Tootsie Rolls must be heavy.
Emmy,thanks for showing us how to do the candy necklace I love that.
This is cute but my sensory issues could never
❤
Greetings!
Whoo hoo! C:
I wouldn't wear a chocolate lei myself because my body heat is too much!
Hey, what are you wearing? Eau du Toffo 😂
I’m Italian, this Lei tradition confuses me 😂
Do people who live in hawaii actually wear leis or are they just to point out who the tourist is👀
People in Hawaii actually wear them, they are traditional and used celebrations and other events. May 1st is lai day.
Graduation lais are extremely popular. Like all the craft stores atm here are filled with supplies to make graduation lai. And you will even get lai made our of money for graduation.
