These are so easy to make as long as you have the materials. Find a hinge at your local hardware store ... there are many colors and shapes to choose from. Then just have a parent hot glue pictures to the inside of the hinge...if you choose to...you can add them to the outside of the hinge as well. Loop a ball chain with latch (also purchased at hardware store) or other type of necklace chain to the the top of the hinge and you have a beautiful locket to wear or give as a present.
Make Colored Macaroni Necklaces
This is a great jewelry making craft for young kids, such as preschoolers, toddlers, and Kindergarteners. This is als good for large groups of campers. The adult just needs to prepare the noodles before hand by dying them. Just mix each dye color with a few tablespoons of alcohol in a plastic bag and some dry pasta. Close the bag and mix together each color separately. Place each set of colored noodles on a separate paper plate to dry out. When all is dry, you can then string the noodles on string or plastic cord. Tie closed.
Spool Necklaces Craft for Preschoolers and Younger Children
This is a great necklace craft for younger kids to make because they are easy to thread or lace ...such as toddlers, preschoolers, Kindergarteners, and children in earlier grades. It is very easy to make these...just paint a bunch of smaller thread spools (that are empty). Let these dry completely. Now just use string or cord and thread them all on there. Now just help the child tie the strin or cord closed.
Making Beautiful Paper Bead Necklaces
This is an old pastime and lots of fun. Use colored paper, such as the colored pages from an old magazine, decorative paper, construction paper, or brightly colored wallpaper, if there are any wallpaper scraps tucked away somewhere. First of all, get a pen to roll the paper around. Roll the paper around and around the pin ... make sure that it is tight around the pen. Put glue at the edge and press down tightly. You will now have a paper roll. . When through wrapping, pull out the pen and lay the finished bead roll aside to dry thoroughly.
Make several and make them in different colors if you want to. Thread a tapestry needle or darning needle with yarn or heavy cord and string the beads into a necklace. When the necklace is the desired length, leave about 5 inches of yarn at each end. Tie a knot to hold the beads in place, and tie a bow at the back of the neck. Vary the necklace by stringing it with small wooden beads between the paper ones or with half-inch lengths of colored cellophane drinking straws.
How to Make Cork Necklaces
To make a really neat necklace, start out by collecting a bunch of corks that are basically the same size. Mom or Dad needs to help you with this craft. Have them cut corks in half. Paint them different colors of the rainbow. Let them thoroughly dry. Then get a Needle and thread the needle through the corks on the top and the bottom of teh corks. It makes an amazing design when you do it this way. To close the necklace up, just tie a beautiful knot in the back of the necklace.
Make Window Treatment Loop Lockets
Go to your hardware store and find window treatment loops or pulls or showing rings. Trace a circle on a piece of sturdy cardboard. Cut it a bit smaller than that circle. Paint that circle in a nice color. Trace a circle around the picture that you want in the locket. Cut it out and glue it to the cardboard. Then glue the window treatment loop on top of the picture-cardboard piece. If your Mom or Dad is around, ask them to help you hot glue it as it will stick better than normal Elmer's Glue.
