Fun Mother Daughter Jewelry Crafts

Mother daughter jewelry crafts not only give moms and their children an opportunity to bond and get to know each other better, but also produce a beautiful keepsake for the family to treasure.

Remember that jewelry crafts don't have to be entirely homemade. Moms and daughters can pick up simple chains from a jewelry store, for example, and decorate them at home.

Matching or complementary jewelry is always a good craft idea for moms and daughters. For example, you could each make half of an "I love you" ring or necklace that joins together.

Bead jewelry is also very easy to make and can be a fun craft. All you have to do is buy some inexpensive beads and a band to thread them through, and you can make matching necklaces with or without writing on the beads.

Hair Jewelry Crafts for the Holiday Season

Christmas and other holiday-related hair jewelry crafts are a great activity to do with kids while they're on winter vacation. The following steps will teach you how to make a homemade Christmas hair clip.

To get started, you'll need old hair clips, bright or glitter nail polish, glitter, fishing line, small decorative light bulbs with holes in ends, scissors, and super glue. First take the old hair clips and paint them with sparkly nail polish.

If you decide to put glitter on top of the polish, top the glitter with a clear coat of polish to help it stay. With your piece of fishing line, string some decorative bulbs onto the hair clip. Tie the end of the line securely.

Once the light bulbs are on, the other end of the fishing line should attach to the hair clip tightly. If the bulbs fall loose, try super gluing them on instead.

Native American Jewelry Crafts for Children - Making Foam Headdresses

Native American jewelry crafts for children are a great way to entertain kids and educate children about the Native American culture. In this post, we'll tell you how to help your kids make a Native American foam headdress.

The easiest way to make a headdress is to purchase a kit, such as the one sold on the site MakingFriends.com/na. Alternatively, you can purchase many different colors of foam from a craft store.

You will also need some tacky glue to hold the headdress together. When you glue your foam feathers on the main band of the headdress, make sure you add some sort of solid strip behind the feathers to lend support and prevent them from flopping over.

If you don't want to use foam, you can always use colored construction paper instead. However, foam headdresses tend to look more realistic and will also last longer.
