Camp Huckins Craft of the Day - Hawaii Flower Necklace

***You could also use this idea to make Garlands which a number of our campers did today to decorate their bunks with whilst at camp***

 You will need:

·         Coloured construction paper
·         Tissue paper
·         Scissors
·         String or elastic
·         Beads
·         Water colours and paint brushes
·         Thumb tack

Step one

Choose three or four colours that work well together for your necklace.  

Step two

Fold your paper into small pieces so you have a number of layers together. (This will save you time when drawing and cutting out flowers, allowing you to cut out a number at once)

Step three -

Draw different shapes of flowers on your construction and tissue paper.

Step Four -

Cut out the flower shapes.

Step five

Add water colour paint to any flowers you wish.

Step six

Using a thumb tack create a hole in the middle of your flower.

 

Step Seven

Tie a knot in the end of your string or elastic and begin threading your flowers onto the string/ elastic alternating the type and colour of flower and adding beads in every now and again for a bit of glitz and glam. 

Step Eight

Tie the two ends together and hey presto one bright fun Hawaii necklace J
