Ribbon Lei...

 It's graduation season, and both my sister and my cousinish have officially earned the title of Doctor this past week. Honestly, the graduation ceremonies snuck up on me, and I had to scramble to request time off and make this lei for Cousinish T.

She sent me this link to sakacon.com with the DIY instruction. The project is not complicated, but it is time consuming, and well worth it in the end.

Congratulations to all 2014 graduates!
