A Rainbow of Beads

Fairy has this pretty pink bracelet that she got some time ago. I can’t even remember where any more, but the Pixie girl has recently taken in interest in it and for all of you with two little girls (or if you have a sister) I’m sure you can imagine how well that has gone over…. LOL… not well at all. Gammy, ’cause Gammy can, indulged the girls in a jewelry making endeavor this past weekend. Pixie made herself a new favorite pink bracelet and Fairy made a lovely rainbow necklace (with a heart) that she has yet to take off. Gammy and I each made ourselves something too and Bug came to the party late but ended up making a ‘surprise’ for Mommy for Christmas. 🙂 And although we used a full rainbow of colors here, I’m including this for our Unplugged Challenge theme Purple. We had wanted to use some of Fairy’s Purple Shoe Beads she got over a year ago… but of course couldn’t find them at the last minute.

We used glass, plastic and silver beads on elastic string. We used the elastic string so the girls could put on or remove their jewelry themselves. After you tie off the elastic string it is a good idea to use a dab of super glue to hold the knot…. but be careful! Gammy glued one of the bracelets to her finger. We all found this quite humorous. She even had a good chuckle until we gave up on solvents and she had to pull it off. So be careful.
