Jewelry is an economical and easy gift idea. You can go to your local bead shop and buy beads in bulk for extra cheap or buy unique individual ones at a fraction of the cost you would pay for an already made bracelet at the store. Make sure the string material you buy is durable so that your gift will last a lifetime. Get creative and you will be amazed at what you can make.
Materials:
- Scissors
- Dish (so you can sort through your beads)
- String, leather, or chain
- Beads of all sorts of shapes and colours
- Clasps
- Pliers (if you have a clasp you may need pliers to secure it)
Directions:
- Cut the string to the length you want, making sure it will fit the desired area
- Put on the beads in the order you want
- If you have a clasp, put them on both ends so that it can be done-up and un-done. If you don’t have one just tie the ends together
- Make a nice card to go with it
- Done!
