It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day! To celebrate I like making kid-friendly crafts with the family that I am sure yours will enjoy as well. This craft is customizable, can be made for yourself or as a gift! Make these super fun and easy Shamrock Backpack Bead Danglers with your kids. 

Shamrock Backpack Bead Dangler Supplies

To make these bead danglers you will need the following supplies. You can find all these supplies at your local Walmart.

You will need:

Bead n Stretch – cord

Wooden tags– in any shape these are great because they have a pre punched hole. 

Green Beads and metallic gold- you will need at least 30 beads

Green Acrylic Paint- to customize your tag with a shamrock 

Glitter- to add sparkle to your design

Paint brush

Recycled Keychain Ring- not pictured 

{optional} Mod Podge-  to seal your design and make it glossy

Customize your Bead Dangler

What I love most about kid-friendly crafts like this one is how everyone can customize their bead dangler to their liking. From the pattern of the beads and the colors to the personalized tag. 

To make your bead dangler:

1- Start by customizing your own tag. Since we are using paint it will take longer to dry so we can get these out the way. TIP: if you are working with little ones consider using markers or crayons both can work great! 

2- Cut at least 12inches of cord for your bead dangler. Fold in half and loop your personalized tag thru  and secure with a bead.

3- Begin looping your beads thru the 2 strands of cord and let your kids get creative with bead patterns.

4-Knot your cord to secure your beads before finishing off your knots loop a bead

5- On the last bead looped in with knots, attach a recycled keychain ring.

What kind of Kid-Friendly Crafts do you enjoy making with your kids?
