Spring Craft: Rainbow Foam Necklaces

The prettiest flowers might not be in bloom yet, but kids can still create these fun spring necklaces.

Younger kids might need a hand cutting the cotton cord and tying knots, but stringing the necklace is easy enough for practically any age.

What you'll need:

• Assorted foam flower shapes
• Hole punch
• Scissors
• Cotton cord

Want to get all your supplies in one place? This Fun Express Foam Flower Lei Kit (pictured above) has everything you need to make a foam necklace.

Instructions:

1. If your foam shapes don't have holes in them already, use the hole punch to add a hole in the middle.

2. Plan your necklace design by laying foam shapes in a straight line. (You can always add more foam shapes later if you'd like.)

3. Cut the cotton cord to the length you'd like your necklace plus a few inches.

4. Tie a knot in one end of the cotton cord. Make sure the knot is large enough that the foam won't slide over the knot.

5. One at a time, thread the foam shapes through the cotton cord.

6. When the necklace has reached the desired length, bring the ends of the cord together and tie a knot to secure. (You can untie the previous end knot before tying the new one, if you'd like.)
