Kid’s DIY Christmas Necklace Craft

Do you ever wind up with your name on a sign up sheet, maybe sometime in September, to be the class holiday party mom?

Then, suddenly it’s December and the teacher just send you a sweet email reminding you to prep a fun activity for 20 antsy little elves the day before Winter break commences.

Have no fear, this simple and low cost project will save the day.  These adorable and easy Christmas necklaces are the perfect Christmas craft for kids!

Kid's Christmas Necklaces

 

Here’s what you’ll need:

There are links to all these items on Amazon or I’ve given other places you can easily pick them up. 

  • Holiday colored paper straws (I grabbed some at the dollar store)
  • Christmas themed erasers (12/pk at the dollar store or in the dollar bins at Target)
  • Small eye screws (home improvement store)
  • Necklace cords with clasps or you can use plastic cording and tie knots in the ends to make necklaces.

I added the eye screws to the tops of the erasers as this can be challenging for little hands. The screws will insert easily with slight pressure. 

Then depending on the age of the children, they can cut the straws into 1-2 inch pieces or you may precut them. 

Finally, let the kids can add their choice of eraser charm and straw pieces, creating a cute necklace!

    Is there a suggested way to tie off plastic cording? I think this is a great craft for an upcoming event and given the anticipated number of kids the cording is more economical. I have not worked with plastic cording before and don’t want kids new necklaces to come undone.

    Many thinks for the adorable inspiration!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
