Crafts for the kids: Make Jewelry or Macaroni?

Make Jewelry or Macaroni?

 

We all love jewelry. Here’s a perfect quick fix jewelry idea that you can try out at home.

 

You need:

An elastic cord that is thin

Tiny beads that act as placeholders

A few tube shaped pieces of macaroni (uncooked ones of course!)

Food coloring (one or two colors)

 

Things to do before getting started:

Select a few pieces of tube shaped macaroni and soak them in food coloring

Leave the macaroni pieces under a fan or under the sun to dry

Once the color has soaked in to the pieces making them colorful you can start making the necklace

 

How to make the necklace:

Get the elastic cord and tie a big knot in one corner.

Now pass a tiny bead – next pass a piece of macaroni and again pass a tiny bead.

Continue this sequence until the elastic cord has become long enough to cover your entire neck

Once you’ve gained enough length, cut off the cord and tie a knot at the end.

With that being done, you just created a marvelous piece of jewelry for yourself!
