Who this list is for
This paper bead necklace craft is for 8-year-olds making one necklace with rolled paper beads, large-hole pony beads, and elastic cord. Keep the finished project away from very young children.
How to use this list
Use the paper bead triangle templates, rulers, and pencils to mark triangles on magazine pages and colored construction paper. Cut them with child-safe scissors. Roll each triangle around a blunt-ended wooden skewer, adding glue from a glue stick as the paper narrows. Place completed beads on a clear drying rack tray. Once dry, sort pony beads in the bead sorting tray and string paper beads and large-hole pony beads onto the 70-centimeter elastic cord.
Common mistakes
Do not rush wet paper beads onto the elastic cord; they need time to hold their shape. Use only blunt-ended skewers as listed, and keep them on the table when not rolling beads. Avoid making a necklace so long that it catches easily. An adult should help with the final elastic tie if needed.

When you are done
