01. Gather your supplies

02. Make the veggie garden base

Find a box for your garden and print the veggie templates (optional) – right click, open image in new tab, and print.

Paint your cardboard box green – it might need two layers of paint!

Cut grass from green paper to decorate the outside of your garden/box. Measure the height of your box first and add about 1 inch so the grass peaks out above the box. Glue the grass around all four sides of your box.

Mark on the box where you want your veggies to go and carefully make small cuts. 

 03. Prep your veggies 

Think about what kind of vegetables you would like in your garden. You can use the printable as a template for your vegetables but you can also come up with your own vegetables. It’s handy to first draw your vegetables on paper/cardstock so you can cut them trace them on the felt fabric. Cut the felt pieces as well! 

Glue your felt vegetables together and give them a pair of googly eyes if you haven’t yet, then glue each vegetable on top of a popsicle stick.

 04. “Plant” your veggies

Stick your veggies in the base and enjoy your masterpiece!

01. 

Gather the craft supplies and watch the craft tutorial (video below).

Roll out a piece of clear foil.

02. 

Arrange the candy evenly on the clear foil (see video). We placed 5 times a small hand of candy on the foil. Try to keep about 1-inch wide spaces between the candy. 

Wrap the foil around the candy and secure with a piece of tape between each candy section. Now you have ½ of your lei. Repeat this process, so you end up with two ½ leis.

03. 

Tape the two ends of each candy lei together, so you end up with one big lei. 

04. 

Cut 10 pieces of ribbon (depending on the amount of candy sections you created). Each ribbon piece should be around 5-7 inch.

Tie each ribbon around the clear foil on top of the tape.

And voila, your lei craft is done!
