Jewelry Crafting with Kids

Making jewelry and accessories is the perfect way for kids to express themselves-and is also a fun and creative way to introduce them to new skills. The 35 colorful projects in this book will let kids imaginations run wild, and they will be so proud to wear what they have made-or give it as a gift. The book is divided into 3 sections: In Brilliant Beads, kids will learn how to thread beads and buttons of all sizes, plait friendship bracelets, and create pretty pendants from wire and beads. Fabric Fashions introduces sewing and cutting skills: kids will enjoy sewing a cupcake brooch or felt flower pendant, creating a bracelet from pom poms, and making their own tassel bag charm from fabric scraps. And in Modeling Magic, card and felt are used to make a funky dinosaur badge; beads, brooches, and hair clips are all created from colorful clay; and belts are decorated with hand-made buttons. With easily-achievable projects to suit a whole range of abilities for children from 3 years and upwards, and with simple step-by-step instructions, children will love crafting their own jewelry creations.
