Sugar Cube Necklace
Dixie Crystals shared a simple idea for a cute Valentine’s Day gift idea. Simple enough to do. I like the project idea and what a great way to spend time with the kiddos making fun necklaces for their friends. There is also some sugar coupons to help you save a little cash when you’re picking up your supplies. Go HERE for those. (link at bottom of page)
Supplies:
Sugar_Cube_Necklace_Instructions:
Acrylic paint (Beware! Water-based and tempera paint will melt the cubes.)
Dixie Crystals Sugar Cubes
Paint brush
Clear nail polish
Needle
Thread, string or ribbon
Optional – Stickers (to further decorate sugar cube beads)
Directions:
Paint the sugar cubes with acrylic paint with dry hands. Water will melt the cubes. Even just out of the package, sugar cubes are all unique and its ok to have rough or uneven sides. It makes the beads look more authentic.
Let the cubes dry slightly and then paint with clear nail polish to protect them.
Let the nail polish dry and, if you choose, paint letters or designs on them or adorn with other decorations like stickers. We used both in this example.
Give the top another coat of clear nail polish to protect your decorations.
Thread a needle with string or ribbon and when cubes are dry, gently push the needle through the beads. Voila! A necklace fit for princess!
Please remember that you cannot eat this necklace. It is for decoration (and fun!) only.
