Recycled Straw Necklace Craft for Kids

Handmade Necklace

Here’s what you’ll need:

 

• Yarn
• Straws
• Scissors
• Craft Punches
• Paper scraps

We chose some of our favorite colored yarn. Cut different lengths for bracelets, anklets, or necklaces. We cut them extra-long for the younger kids.

We also used various craft punches to create our own “beads” with circles and flowers from scrapbook paper scraps I had left over from other projects. Make sure the hole is large enough for little fingers to maneuver.

You can pre-cut the straws, or if your child is old enough you can allow them to do it with safety scissors.
