Procedure

1. Prepare all the materials needed. Remember to wash your hands before starting. Keep your hands dry by using the clean towel.
2. Insert the string into the hole of your needle. Then, start sewing the gumball one by one. It is important that you will pin down the middle of the gumball so it will look neat and orderly. You can play with the colors or have them in random. Also, if you are particular with your color motif, it will still look good in single-color lineup.
3. The average length of your bracelet is around 7 to 10 gumballs. After deciding on the number of gumballs, cut the string about 4 inches from both ends of the gumballs. This length should be enough to tie a knot and secure the gumballs. It is best if you can do a double knot for a reliable hold.

That’s how easy to make this DIY holiday party craft for kids. Of course, don’t forget the excitement of the kids to chew this delicious party craft. It’s a party essential that you shouldn’t miss. What holiday kids’ crafts will you make this year?
