To make a money lei, which is a popular gift often given at graduations or special occasions, the general process involves folding money bills in a decorative way and stringing them together to form a lei. Here is a summary of the steps based on several tutorials:

• Choose the amount and denominations of money you want to use.
• Fold each bill accordion-style or in a special origami folding technique to create a decorative shape.
• Secure folded bills with tape if needed, or use an origami folding method that holds the bills together without tape.
• Cut a length of string or yarn (e.g., around 8 feet) for threading the lei.
• Thread the string through the openings or folds of each bill, alternating with beads or colored paper for decoration if desired.
• Pull the string tight after adding each bill and bead to keep the lei compact.
• Add beads or colorful paper to finish the lei at the ends.
• Tie the ends of the string together to complete the lei.

Different tutorials show variations such as using a store-bought flower lei as a base on which to attach folded bills or making a "stacked" money lei using origami techniques without tape or wire. This method creates a creative, attractive way to present money as a gift.

If needed, I can provide a detailed step-by-step guide based on a specific tutorial style. Would that be helpful?
