Pumpkin Necklace
Instructions for making a cute, pumpkin-shaped necklace.
 

Materials Needed:

  • Green Pony Bead
  • Green Felt or Construction Paper
  • Orange Pom-pom (1-2 inches)
  • Glue
  • Yarn or String
Instructions:
The orange pom-pom will be your apple, the green bead will be the stem, and you will use the green felt or paper to make leaves.

Cut out small leaf shapes from the green paper or felt. You want it to look like 2 leaves attached in the middle. Kind of like this (you will probably want them smaller than this picture though!):

Once your leaves are cut, put some glue in the middle of one side of the leaf shape as shown in the picture above, and stick the leaf shape on the pom-pom. Now, put a dab of glue on the side of the green bead (Do not cover or block the holes!) and stick it to the center of the leaf shape to make the pumpkin's stem.

Once all the glue has dried, you can string the bead onto a piece of yarn or string and you have your very own pumpkin necklace! If you like, you can glue seed beads on the pom-pom to make a jack-o-lantern face!
