How to Make a Beaded Lei Necklace with Kids
As you may know, I am a Mom to a 3-year-old boy, who loves to be creative. I have been designing art activities for years and he is always very interested to see what project we will do next! Often, I create activities for private events and workshops, which is very inspiring for me. For a recent event, I designed a custom lei necklace craft for kids! It is both simple and fun, so I wanted to share it with you. Also, it entertained my son at home for 30 minutes and I think it will entertain the kids in your life!
Here is how you can make a simple lei necklace for a birthday party or for an easy afternoon craft.
Read on to see what supplies we used and how you can make this one with your kids too!

LAbor Day: French 75 CocktailCheers! I want to wish all of my readers a Happy Labor Day! Thank you so much for following along this new blog over the past 9 months and taking part in this new journey! I am really excited about where things are headed. I see a lot of travel out there on the horizon, along with new textile designs and new experiences. This weekend marks another milestone for us. It is, in fact, our 6th wedding anniversary! 6 years ago this weekend, we were married on a beach up in Malibu. We plan to head there to the beach to celebrate and relax on that same beach this weekend. Time sure does fly when you are having fun! To celebrate, I wanted to share with you a French 75 cocktail from Vegan Futura, my husband's new venture, that I really enjoy. It's light, refreshing, and the perfect addition to your Labor Day Party! Although, I literally can only drink one;) The full French 75 cocktail recipe is here: Shibori cocktail napkin designed by yours truly...
How about you, what are your plans for Labor Day weekend? anything fun!? Stay safe, enjoy and I look forward to a sharing how to combine Indigo Shibori techniques on Procion dye when we return from the holiday:) |
