CRAFT PROJECT
Pasta and Bead Jewelry
Materials:
- Homemade Clay (recipe below)
- Macaroni with hole (i.e. stars, elbow)
- 1/4" wood dowel (or very thin pencil or pen)
- Yarn or Ribbon
- Pipe Cleaner
- Poster Paint
- Paintbrush
Homemade Clay:
- 1 Cup salt
- 2 Cup flour
- 1 Cup water
Mix dry ingredients and then gradually add water. Knead dough thoroughly with hands.
Bead Instructions:
Form small balls by rolling pieces of clay between palms.
Some beads can be left round, others can be flattened
slightly, or even formed into diamond or star shapes.
Let the kids decide!
Push dowel (or thin pencil, pen) through the center of all
beads.
The beads can dry on their own, or they can be baked in the
oven at 300 degrees for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size
of the clay object.
Once the beads are ready, the kids can paint them however
they wish. If the kids are old enough, they can add glitter
to the wet paint. Then, when the paint is thoroughly dry,
they can cover the beads with clear nail polish.
Bend about a half inch of one end of the pipe cleaner back
against itself. Then hook one end of a length of yarn or
ribbon into the tight fold. Now they have a large "needle
and thread" to string beads and pasta easily, alternating
the two however they want.
Note: If the kids aren't thrilled with jewelry, you can
always let them use the clay to make all sorts of critters
and unusual objects!
