Pumpkin Seed Necklace
This pumpkin seed necklace, done in Halloween colours, makes a great accessory for Halloween and perfect for a witch's costume!
Alternatively, paint in more autumnal colours and make it as an autumn/fall craft.
You will need:
Pumpkin seeds (roasted)
Paint (orange, black, white and green)
Needle and thread
(Kitchen foil to put seeds on while you paint them)
Instructions follow...
Instructions:
Paint your pumpkin seeds in orange, green, white and black. The easiest way
to do this is to put them on kitchen foil so that they will not stick to
anything while they dry. But it is a very messy job!
When your seeds are dry, thread your needle with a length of thread long
enough to go over your head with 3 or 4 inches to spare. Put your seeds a few at
a time on a pile on newspaper or a thin sponge. One by one push the needle down
through the seed - when you have pierced the seed safely, pick it up and pull it
through the thread.
When your thread is about two thirds filled, knot the ends together tightly.
Note: you need a sharp needle for this so make sure children are well
supervised or that an adult does the threading.
