Let’s celebrate the graduating class of 2025! 🎓 Join us for a guided workshop to make a candy lei for your special graduate. We will provide plastic wrapping, candy, colored cardstock, and curling ribbon (yep, we’ll have all the school colors available!). You’re also encouraged to bring your own décor such as money, candy, trinkets under 2” in diameter, etc. These colorful, personalized leis make memorable gifts that graduates can wear proudly during their commencement ceremony and keep as a cherished memento of their achievement. 🎉
