As a tourist in a foreign country, I found it very challenging to engage my child in crafts, while making sure that 1.) we don’t spend on too many craft supplies that we can’t bring home and 2. We also don’t create more garbage.
As a result of some creative thinking, we came out with this very simple and whimsical accessory.
Level of Difficulty: Beginners. This is literally a 5-minute craft. The only part that took long was for the glue to dry.
In this craft activity, you will need:
0.5 cm wide ribbons, cut into 8 cm strips (the ones we had on hand were from clothing tags)
Jump ring
All purpose glue
Feathers (*optional. We picked these feathers on the beach)
What to Do:
- Get a strip and fold into half.
- Attach to the jump ring using a cow hitch knot.
- Continue to do this until you’ve covered about half of the jump ring.
- To achieve a more bohemian look, you can also glue feathers.
