Summer Crafts for Kids - Jewelry Crafts - Paper Clip Necklace
Ages 8 and older
Our bear is looking gorgeous wearing her new necklace. This project is inexpensive and easy for kids to create. It takes about 30 minutes to complete and would also be a fun project for a group to do together and then show off their new treasure. When finished, the necklace makes an interesting sound as if it were made out of another material. Try it out and see!
