Silvery Snow: Ribbon Necklace

This is a great way to use up scraps of ribbon, fabric, rick-rack etc.

Materials

• Ribbon
• Fabric
• Bias tape
• Rick-rack
• Lace (for younger children you may want to use something with a magnetic release clasp for safety reasons)
• Fabric scissors

Directions

• Cut your ribbon, fabric scraps etc. and make loops as shown by folding them over so that they are equal on each side.

• Put them over top of your lace, cord etc., leaving a hole up at the top.

• Pull the two ends through the hole, coming up from the bottom.

• Repeat until you have reached a desired fullness.

• Trim the ends of your ribbon, fabric etc.

• Tie the end of your laces together and enjoy!

Purpose

• Re-using/ re-imagining materials for a new use.

Safety Notes

• A lace can be a strangulation hazard- use with direct supervision.
• Remove your necklace for play (e.g., at the playground) for this reason.
