oh, but "frito lei" was a missed opportunity for a Very Nice pun....

[@electroguy02]

I dunno, I think the F-lei-min' Hot Cheetos looked like a lot of fun! Haha

[@lenileaver3983]

That's hilarious!

[@Valen_Wolf]

🤣 Both good!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@gymnastmomma6908]

😂

[@electroguy02]

@@lenileaver3983 Hileirious, even! XD

[@eightstreet4007]

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 .

[@MrPootzen]

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! 🥳

[@phonotical]

"babe what's wrong, you've barely touched your snickers lei" 😂

[@KatieJ1414]

I loved receiving this kind of Lei. It is so thoughtful and beautiful

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Flamin' Cheetos Lei, Emmy knows EXACTLY what is near and dear to the Undergrad's heart, lol

[@mcv2178]

Look at you at the end, all decked out in gorgeous candy like some statue in a shrine - love it!

[@neocodeauthor8256]

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 ❤

[@newzealand56]

An awesome Pacific Island tradition done beautifully Emmy! 😍 Well done!

[@muoian]

Graduation season !!!

[@tigerirvin8221]

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.

[@ClanImprobable]

You did a great job taking care of yourself by coming here and finding comfort!

[@pattil.3102]

I bet the kids were happy after this post. All that candy🍬🍫🍭

[@MichaelPeret]

Now, walk into a movie theater wearing all of those leis.

[@kallen868]

😅

[@AHatake]

Even better than candy is all the amazing graduates standing up for humanity. Free 🍉 🍉 🍉!!!

[@jpendowski7503]

What a fun project, can be adapted to so many events. Edit for spelling)

[@okayanna]

This video takes me back to old school Emmy in the best way. I've always loved this kind of succinct content from you!

[@emilyymarie90]

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!

[@ameliaplair1700]

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.

[@mcfrisby]

I learned so much from your show. I love your show, thank you for teaching me so many cool things.

[@ThatMadHatter]

Just when I thought Emmy couldn't get any cuter your thumbnail for this video is adorable.😄

[@ClanImprobable]

Those were absurdly charming!

[@glennmatayoshi7027]

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.

[@kaneohegurl]

Brings back memories when I was a child.

[@PrisTvv]

very lovely, the colors are nice

[@lex_1412]

So cute! Love these!

[@xyztia12]

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.

[@MsChibiRagnarok]

These would be pretty cute as garlands too.

[@philoctetes_wordsworth]

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.

[@AnniCarlsson]

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

[@coreysgirl04]

Yay! Thank you so much for making this video Emmy!! 👨🏻‍🎓❤

[@neweyeswideopen]

Mmmmmmm snacklace!!!! 😅😂

[@ijce9315]

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. 🎉🎉🎉

[@jorgediez4759]

So cute and fun! Wonder if there’s a way we could make it without all the single use plastic

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

So festive and happy! 🌻😁

[@rtypepe]

So beautiful! FYI..... lei is singular and plural..... no "s" to indicate plural

[@jodip5193]

This is so clever!

[@thatswhatshesaid14]

I read the title as DIY lies 😂 to be honest, im actually excited it's candy lays 💚

[@Valen_Wolf]

YUMMY!! Love these.. ❤ I think I'd personally love the Flamin' Hot Cheetos lei! Thanks Emmy.. so stinkin' cute!! 🍬

[@robylove9190]

🍬🍬🍬 Time to celebrate! 🍬🍬🍬 Such a cute idea. Thanks, Emmy ❣️

[@mrs.j.p.d5069]

These are so much fun to give 🥰

[@tamijoiskewl]

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!

[@PaddyEdwardC]

This looks neat and a fun DIY ❤

[@tamaflip]

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. 🍬

[@CarolBondOldDragonMama]

Love this!! Thank you!

[@RadBadJodster]

Cute!!!! ❤

[@purpleshoespurp3462]

Oh we love a craft queen!!

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

So cute for birthday parties: give them to the atendees as they're leaving.

[@deniseview4253]

Oh so cute ❤

[@cafezo87934]

You're so creative 🎉🎊

[@labratamber]

Great idea !!!!

[@CricketsBay]

🍬🍬🍬Time to celebrate!🍬🍬🍬 Thanks, Emmy.

[@sueholdener4135]

Love this😁

[@skyeblue5669]

❤ Nice, so EASY to make..

[@kouklakee]

Great idea ! Thank U 🙏🏼

[@lazkid220]

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?

[@CricketsBay]

Same with the Fruit Chews.

[@guest3015]

I love this!! My step daughter just graduated and we just had her grad party over the weekend! But these are great!

[@JackW42]

"🍬🍬🍬Time to celebrate!🍬🍬🍬" :P

[@pippen5970]

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 😩

[@debbiemarks6086]

Great job. I will make my granddaughter one thanks

[@Naenae18091]

This was really cool

[@NotLakayahItsFrNotMe]

Here at 1 minute 🎉 so excited for this video

[@diesel_dawg]

🍬🍬🍬Time to celebrate!🍬🍬🍬

[@PlacestobeVG]

ok now a video of taking one candy out of each lei lol

[@janicebolosan119]

I love your t-shirt!!

[@TribalCat1]

We used to make these when I was a kid in Hawai’i.

[@ronniemanuel6287]

That's an awesome t-shirt 😊

[@GenjitsuSama]

Just made some last night for a little one's graduation!

[@QueenNemesis327]

You're the best! 😂😂

[@LalaCybertruckGirl]

I’m going to make one and give it to my son for graduating 5th grade :)

[@lovingtheglovedone]

I’m going to try making one with AirHeads for my sister. ❤

[@Marykriz]

That looks heavy 😂

[@2okaycola]

Always wanted to know how to do this!!!!!!!

[@twocvbloke]

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

[@louieandrea4494]

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 🤔

[@asteiner274]

Emmy!

[@lynnsenger9950]

How much fun this would be vitntage candies (such as Zots) be?!

[@viewandchew]

❤

[@OSheaDean]

When you take an Aithead from the ~paperchain, you've broken the whole thing?

[@laurierosendahl]

It's almost June, graduation was weeks ago.

[@wendyodell356]

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 ❤😊💐🫶

[@TerriMagoo]

❤❤❤

[@daletowe6180]

Nice

[@Ntyler01mil]

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.

[@ClanImprobable]

Brilliant idea!

[@jazzflores6697]

How stinkin cute. I'm doing the cheeto one for sure

[@christianasherrill5849]

What size chip bags are those?

[@mommashawna707]

Does anyone have any idea how long one should be for kindergarten so a five-year-old?

[@spohie88]

This is cute but my sensory issues could never

[@smokey8472]

Whoo hoo! C:

[@Ntyler01mil]

The ones with Jolly Ranchers or Fruit Tootsie Rolls must be heavy.

[@honey3762]

I love your content, graduation is a meaningless event

[@KaraB-cx9wr]

Greetings!

[@florenceedee]

I'm literally on lei duty! Thanks for tutorial!

[@kindhoneyrose1979]

I wouldn't wear a chocolate lei myself because my body heat is too much!

[@BeautifulKittenOfLove]

OMG...Candy Lei was my drag name!

[@mimzy4319]

Don't fall asleep with it on. You'll wake up covered in ants.

[@phonotical]

Hey, what are you wearing? Eau du Toffo 😂

[@Benji7586]

The airhead one was literally my favorite one ❤️😍

[@c4cupcake950]

i already use enough plastic. as cute as this is I don't think I need to add more trash to the giant pile I already make.

[@hameshhoarilall1909]

I want to eat all yummy

[@Celesbrina]

I’m Italian, this Lei tradition confuses me 😂
