String beads, charms, or knotted thread into a matching necklace to keep or give to a best friend — a simple, colorful craft that turns a handful of supplies into a lasting token of friendship.

The Essentials

  • Measure the desired necklace length against your neck before cutting cord
  • Use crimp beads or secure knots at both ends so beads don't slip off
  • Plan your bead pattern on a design board before stringing to avoid mistakes
  • Mix bead sizes and finishes thoughtfully rather than randomly for a balanced look
  • Test the clasp closure a few times before wearing to make sure it holds

Sand Sculpture

Sand Sculpture

Go beyond the basic sandcastle — build a mermaid half-buried in sand, a sea turtle, or a relief map of an island. Damp sand near the water's edge holds shapes well, and the tide's erasure is part of the art.
