Here is a quick tutorial on how to make these cute necklaces.
Here's the list of supplies you will need to gather:
- 24- 1" Gumballs (I ordered these on Amazon.)
- 6 feet of 2" Poly tubing (You can order this on Amazon as well and you will NEVER run out. The roll is gigantic. I split the roll with my sister and it will last me forever. You can purchase it HERE.)
- Ribbon, colored elastics, or loom bands
NOTE: I have used curling ribbon, colored mini hair tie elastics and loom bands. My favorite is loom bands, which I have used in the picture above. The hair elastics are too little and hurt my fingers. The curling ribbon takes more time than I wanted. The loom bands are awesome because they are stretchy and don't hurt my fingers. I also LOVE the look of them.
I hope this was helpful. These are cute for graduations and other celebrations as well.
This is such a cute birthday gift for an eight year old. Thanks for the tutorial. I just loved it. My niece is going to turn 10 soon and we might do something like this. I am planning to host a cute DIY party at one of local party venues but not decided on the theme yet.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a darling party! I'd love to hear how it goes!
