Bubble Gum Necklaces

Candy Crafts – Bubble Gum Necklaces

Remember candy necklaces growing up? For an updated take on the old classic why not make a bubble gum necklace! They are easy to make and a great party favor, kids’ craft, or unique gift for your sweetie. Just follow these simple directions as inspired by One Charming Party :

You will need: 1 large-eyed blunt end sewing needle or metal skewer, gumballs, ribbons.

•  Purchase your favorite gumballs. For a variety you can purchase tubs of solid color gumballs, assorted colors, and beautiful pearlescent colors.

•  Use a long large-eyed blunt- end sewing needle or metal skewer to pierce a hole on one side of the gumball – hold carefully not to scratch the gumball or hurt yourself. Repeat hole on other side. If you try to poke a hole all the way through both sides, it will crack.

•  Make hole large enough for the blunt-end needle to fit through with your ribbon (thinner ribbon is easier to string). Tie knots between gumballs, repeat steps in any colorful pattern you choose. Tie the ends with a beautiful bow.

Enjoy!
