Playdough Jewelry


Materials

  • Playdough
  • Toothpick or large, blunt needle
  • Clear gloss enamel or nail polish
  • String

Directions

  1. Have your child roll small pieces of playdough into balls to make beads.
  2. Pierce each bead with a toothpick or large blunt needle and allow to dry for several days.
  3. Check holes after a day to see if they need repunching.
  4. When dry, coat with clear gloss enamel or nail polish to bring out the color.
  5. Thread beads onto a string and knot the ends together to create a necklace or bracelet.
