Beaded Sunglasses Holder

Difficulty: Average

Parental supervision is recommended

Start a fashion craze with your own Beaded Sunglasses Holder to wear around your neck. A great craft for kids who are prone to losing their sunglasses.

What you'll need:

  • Scissors
  • Red faceted beads
  • Blue faceted beads
  • White or clear faceted beads
  • Elastic string
  • Glue

How to make it:

  1. Cut a piece of elastic string that will comfortably fit around your neck if glasses are attached.
  2. Form a loop and tie a knot in one end of the elastic string to fit around the glasses (at the hinge) securely. Put a drop or two of glue to secure the knot. (See photo)
  3. String on beads in color order red, white, and blue, or any pattern or order desired.
  4. Tie a knot in the other end of the string next to the end of the last bead you put on.
  5. Form a loop next to the first knot you made that will fit around your glasses (in the same place on the opposite side) and tie a knot.
  6. Do the same to the other end of the string.
  7. Slip on to your glasses and enjoy!

Tips:

Make sure you don't use any beads that are pointed as they will probably irritate the neck of the person wearing them.
