Kids love to make their own jewelry, and these pendants, crafted from upcycled cardboard, are especially fun to create and wear. The pendants cost no money, slip easily inside a letter to a pen pal, and, if the kid gets tired of wearing them, can be tossed right back into the recycling bin.
Here’s how to make them:
You will need:
- upcycled cardboard–cereal boxes and shipping boxes work well, although here we’re using old record album covers (we made record bowls with the albums inside)
- template and pencil–a jar lid or other circle, about 2″ diameter, is a good size for the template
- sturdy scissors
- hole punch–a narrow one works better at punching through thick cardboard than the standard-sized circle
- pens or markers to decorate–I HIGHLY recommend gel pens for this project, because they work on both rough and slick surfaces, and their colors really pop
- twine or embroidery thread
