Create a beautiful necklace and bug clips as a birthday gift for your daughter’s birthday party. These would make great favors for her friends to take home and enjoy. The best part is that you could do any color to match the birthday’s theme.
Materials Needed:
Instructions:
1. Begin by removing the pink sheer ribbon-to-bead from its spool.
2. Gather assorted beads and arrange them to see how the layout would look.
3. Using the wire needle that is attached to the ribbon-to-bead begin to thread the the middle bead onto the ribbon so that it is in the exact middle.
4. Tie a knot on each end of the bead to hold it into place.
5. Thread your next bead on the ribbon and tie a knot directly on the other side. Now do the same on the other side of the bead. Continue with the process so that you thread one side and then the other. I used seven beads.
6. After the last bead is placed on the ribbon, cut the ribbon so that each end is exactly the same as the other end. Seal the
ribbon ends with clear nail polish to keep them from fraying. Set aside.
7. Next, cut a 6 ½” piece of green grosgrain ribbon and burn each end. Carefully, glue to a single prong clip.
8. Cut a 3” and 4” piece of polka dot ribbon. Take the smaller piece and apply a glue dot to one end. Place other end on top and press down. Take the 4” piece and glue one end to the top of the smaller piece. Take other end and wrap around to the front of the loop. Glue onto the top.
9. Cut a 2” piece of black grosgrain ribbon. Glue to the front of the loops.
10. Glue each end of the black ribbon to the back of the loops. You should have two triangles in the back.
11. Burn the end of a piece of black grosgrain ribbon and cut two thin pieces.
12. Glue antennas to the back of the loops. Next, glue the bugs head to the end of the clip. Enjoy!
