Bread Tag Charm Necklace

How we did it:
Materials List
- bread tags
- acrylic paint
- paintbrushes
- string
-
First step to this craft is to start collecting those bread tags! (Now that I know what cute charms they make, I may never be able to throw another bread tag away!)
-
We painted our charms with acrylic paint. It worked great and we had a lot of fun deciding what sorts of charms to make.
-
My daughter liked painting flowers, hearts, and the sun. They all came out so perfect and each one had a special meaning to us.
-
While the charms were drying, we cut some rainbow cord to the length of a necklace. You can use any kind of cord or string, but look for a thicker one to be sure the charms stay in place and do not easily slide off.
-
Emma could hardly wait for them to be dry so that she could put together her new charm necklace. The tags were really easy to put on and off.
-
At the end of the day, I noticed Emma had placed her charm necklace next to her backpack for school the next day. That confirms it -- we have a winner!
