GlueArts Adhesive Squares are Kid Friendly, easy to work with and best...don't make a mess! (take a tip from us...!!!)

Paper Bead Necklace

GlueArts Designer: Grace Tolman

Kid crafts are one of my favorite things to create. They lean on the “easy” side (you want the little ones to actually replicate what you do) and anytime I get to share my love for papercrafting with my kids is always a plus. This paper version of a bead necklace is no exception. Read on to see how with just a few supplies, you can make a unique homemade jewelry with and for your favorite little fashionista!

Supplies Used:

Glue Arts Extreme Tac Adhesive Squares

Pattern papers- Summer Breeze, My Little Shoebox

Ribbon- Offray

Flower and circle punch- Creative Memories

Glitter glue- Diamond, Stickles, Ranger Industries

Brad- Source Unknown

Instructions:

1. Gather your supplies. To get the most out of your papers, pick double sided ones so you can have to different designs to use from just one paper.

2. Cut your papers into 1 x 3” strips. I cut three of each design.

3. Add adhesive to one edge of the strip. 

4. With a pencil or any round stick, roll your paper. Close the rolled paper with the extreme square adhesive side. 

5. Measure your ribbon to the length you want and start threading your paper beads through it.

6. Add a “pendant” to your necklace by punching out more paper with a flower and a circle punch. Adhere the punched shaped together and then add a brad in the center. For some “bling” to your necklace, add glitter glue to the edge of the flower punch. Let it dry completely before adhering on the center of your necklace using more extreme adhesive squares.
