Aromatic Spice Necklace a fun craft
SPICE NECKLACEThis is a simple necklace and fun to make with kids. You would want to have older children since you will be using a sharp needle. I introduce this last year at a church youth group with mixed ages and caused some bloodshed.
This calls for soaking your spices in very warm water (it is ok for it to cool) for at least 12 hours. The wholes spices recommended are the following:
- Allspice
- Cinnamon sticks (after soaking cut with pruning shear)
- Cardamom pods
- Tonka beans
- Star Anise
- Clove buds
I used dental floss and sharp needles to push through the softened spices. You can buy nice necklace closures at a local craft store EVEN WALMART.
This smells wonderful.
