If you have kids in your life, I recommend this simple bead craft for Christmas, Easter or any Christian holiday. The kids in my 1st grade religious education class were able to make the crosses easily and they loved wearing them afterwards. It'd make a great craft for a Christmas or an Easter playdate, kids party or as an activity for kids on Christmas Day or Easter Sunday. To change it to an Easter activity, just change the bead colors above to pastels, especially purple and pink. Adult supervision is mostly required because you don't want little ones to get a hold of the beads, although some kids may also need help with tying the knots. These crosses were done on cords long enough to be necklaces, but you could cut a smaller length of cording and make them bracelets or tie them to cardstock (or a piece of recycled cereal box painted or wrapped with Xmas paper) to make bookmarks. What grandparent wouldn't smile to receive such a sweet bookmark from their grandchild? |
