Supplies Needed:
• Candy Bar Wrappers from small size bars.
• Straws – any size or color
• Glue
• Clear Scotch tape
• Stretchable Cord
• Beads
• Small Paintbrush
1. Take empty candy wrappers and trim them down, cutting off the ends and leave the logo of the candy to show.
2. Brush a light coat of glue on the backside of the candy wrapper.
3. Roll the wrapper around a straw. If there is too much wrapper, trim away the extra.
4. Cover the seam with clear scotch tape. This helps keep things in place as it dries.
5. Repeat this several times as you will want several beads to make your jewelry pieces.
6. Once the glue dries, this takes a few hours, you can cut the straw into tiny pieces. The pieces can be whatever size you want your beads to be.
7. Now you can start to place your candy wrapper beads and other decorative beads on your stretchable cord.
8. Once you have the length you want, tie the cord into a knot. ( I usually tie a few knots).
9. Your jewelry is now ready to wear.
***With Halloween coming, this is a great way to use up those candy wrappers.
*** You can also use leftover scrapbook paper to make beautiful beads.
