I'm back with our second mother's day jewelry craft. It is the exact same concept as the necklaces below, but we just turned them into rings. Again, these were super easy and the kids had fun making them. Kirsten liked the rings so much she wanted to make some for herself too, so we did. They're pretty cute. Again, I love the look the nail polish gave instead of using paint. It gives it just a hint of shimmer that really is beautiful. I'm sure any mom would love to get one of these rings for mother's day. Here's how to make them:
What you'll need:
white crayola model magic
rolling pin
circle cutter (oops, not pictured again!)
nail polish - whatever colours you wish
glue
adjustable rings
Directions:
1. roll out your model magic so it's about 1/2 inch thick
2. using your circle cutter, cut circles for how many rings you'll be making
3. have your kiddos stamp their thumbs in a heart shape on the circle
4. allow to dry over night
5. using whatever shades of nail polish you wish, paint the heart and allow to dry - you may need to do multiple coats to get the desired colour/shade
6. glue an adjustable ring on the back and allow to dry
Pin It
Hey Jill! I'm going to get crafty this week making the thumbprint necklaces for Mother's Day. I was thinking of maybe gluing small magnets on the back for my grandmothers (my daughter's great-grandmothers) instead of making it into jewelery. What kind of glue would work best do you think? I'll let you know how the necklaces turn out because I'm really a crafting novice.
ReplyDeleteagain, what a great idea. my motivation is low...ha.
ReplyDeleteTY so much for this amazing idea!! I think I'll shift this a little, and make key chains out of them ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!
ReplyDeleteBecky - I actually have made these before as magnets and just used regular craft glue to glue the magnets on the back. It worked great.
PRECIOUS!! Love it!
