We finished!
Glue Bead Necklace
Use washable markers only. DO NOT use permanent marker.
You can use any shallow mold. My kids use lids of all sizes. The mold above was saved from a box of candy from Easter. Elemers white glue works the best. Other glues do not dry as clear. We like to put a bead as a guide for a hole later but this step is not necessary as you can poke a hole with a large needle. The color shows up as it dries.
It is fun to watch them dry as they change in color intensity. My kids like adding beads and shells. Sand looks cool too.
Peel out slowly when completely dry. Be patient! Wait at least two days! Its worth the wait.
We make many things with these.
My daughter also uses them as plates for her Polly Pocket dolls!
Here is one of the many "stick" projects my younger daughter did this week.
" A Girl and Her Dog" made with wire, beads, wood, felt and a bit of glue.
Here is a site with really awesome "glue" crafts.
The girl and her dog are cute! I can't wait to see how you made glue necklaces!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome project project,Tina. That is so creative. I didn't have time to do any projects this week, so maybe I can catch up and do two projects this week. : )
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteYour site is lovely. I can't wait until my girlie is old enough for some of your ideas.

ReplyDeleteWow! Those are impressive! I have never seen glue beads before, but they look wonderful! I am getting so many ideas this week. I'll add this one to my list too. I love the girl and dog also. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and creative.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

The glue beads are wonderful. Oh! I've got some old snowflake shaped candy molds that might work for this project. Bet they'd make cute gift tie ons. We'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. :)
Those necklaces are cool. I've never seen that project before!
ReplyDeleteThe glue beads are soo pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow cute!!! I know my daughter would love these.
ReplyDeleteI love the beads out of glue! My oldest son and I are planning to make fimo beads soon but we'll have to try yours at some point (do they get sticky against your skin as you wear them?).
ReplyDeleteWe started these today. We can't wait to see how they turn out. We're enjoying just watching the colors spread!
