Making necklaces

Here are a few photos from the necklace-making craft last playgroup. I've put some instructions on how to make the beads below.

To make the beads:

Take a colourful piece of paper such as a magazine cover and use a ruler to mark out long triangular strips. I've found that triangles with a base of 2 cm on an A4 page work well.

Cut out the triangles. Use a skewer to roll the triangles into a bead. A small amount of glue applied at the start and the end will keep the paper in place.

Slide the rolled bead off the skewer. Repeat.
