Design-Your-Own Candy Necklace
A classic candy-shop craft that turns the party's own sweets into wearable party favors — fits the Vintage Candy Shop theme's pastel pink, mint, and gold palette perfectly.
What you'll need
From around the house
- A few small bowls — to pour the candy beads into so kids can see and pick their favorite colors
How to do it
- Pour each child's candy beads into a small bowl in front of them.
- Give each child their string.
- Let them thread the candy beads onto the string in whatever pattern they like.
- Have an adult tie off the finished necklace for each child.
- Kids can wear their necklace right away — and snack on it later too.
