Well, I mentioned I was working on a little something-something to go in these favor bags.
And now here's that something-something.
Bubble gum necklaces!
These are my little Valentine treats I made up to send to my nieces & to give to one of our little neighborhood friends.
I know they say diamonds are a girl's best friend but I'm thinking for the 10 & younger crowd it may be something like bubble gum & unicorns.....oh, and that Justin Bieber kid.
Interested in making some fun bubble gum necklaces yourself?
They are super easy to put together
{the only hard part is piercing the gumball with out destroying it!}
and you can mix & match
the colors to spice things up a bit.
Step 1: Pierce a hole on one side of the gumball using a metal skewer, or knitting needle, or get totally creative & crazy and use a meat thermometer as I did {a clean one of course!}. Avoid piercing the hole all the way through, otherwise the gumball will just crack in half.
Step 2: Flip the the gumball over and pierce a hole on the other side.
Try to line this hole up with the first hole you pierced on the other side.
Step 3: String your ribbon through the hole using a long needle.
The thicker the ribbon the harder it is to loop through.
Step: Tie the ends of your ribbon into a bow.
To fancy things up tie a coordinating bow around the necklace near
the bubblegum.
I found the bubblegum at our local Party City.
They have a variety of fun colors to choose from.
Pretty enough to wear or eat!
Next week I hope to share the Valentine I'm working on for my nephew.
See you on the flip side.
