solar energy bead bracelet

My daughter made a solar energy bead bracelet this past weekend.  She thinks it's the coolest thing every!  She even drew a picture of this at school for her "Weekend News Update".  So cute!


For this simple bracelet I had my daughter put about 12 to 14 beads on a pipe cleaner.  Then I wrapped it around her wrist and cut off any excess.

As soon as she walked outside her bracelet changed colors.  This was probably one of the most exciting things that happened this past weekend.  It doesn't take much to keep her happy. :)

You can buy these cute beads on amazon.com.  I've provided the link below:

Pom Pom Spiders

Materials Needed:
Pom Poms- I used black but any color will do
Beads
Googly eyes
Glue
Pipe cleaners

The first thing we did was bend one pipe cleaner in the middle (the middle will be glued to the pom pom), then put a few beads onto each end.  Then we bent the pipe cleaner again on each side (for the legs).  You will bend the end of each pipe cleaner for the feet but you can do that when you are done so you can position the feet to help the spider stand. You can use two to three pipe cleaners for each spider.

Once you have a few pipe cleaners finished glue the middle section and googly eyes to the pom pom.  Let dry.

These are such cute little spiders!  My daughter has been playing with them in her doll house and is loving them!
