Fall Craft for Kids: Bracelet with Embellished Beads

Materials for Bracelet Craft for Kids with Embellished Beads

Hemp Cord (We received ours from Craftprojectideas.com.)
An assortment of wood beads (We also received these from Craftprojectideas.com.)
Metallic Sharpies
Scissors
Toothpick (optional)
Tape (optional)

Directions for Fall Bracelet Craft for Kids

1. Start by decorating some of the wood beads with the metallic Sharpies. You can make zig zags, polka dots, lines- any kind of design you’d like!

(I found it helpful to stick a toothpick through the bead I was decorating to help me hold it in place as I was drawing on it.)

2. Cut a piece of hemp cord (or any other thing string) to make the bracelet. I like to tie a bead on one end to keep the beads I string onto the cord from falling off.

3. String the wood beads onto your hemp cord. (If you are having difficulty getting the end of the cord through the bead, you can wrap a piece of tape around the end to stiffen it.)
