How to Make a Patriotic Necklace

If you love your country, there’s no time like the present to show your patriotism. You don’t have to wait until the Fourth of July to celebrate the United States.

Learning how to make a patriotic necklace will allow you to show your patriotism year round.

What type of patriotic necklace you make depends on your level of ability. For those who aren’t comfortable with crafts, why not give this simple necklace a try? You’ll need the following items:

* Three spools of red, white and blue thread, one of each color
* Thin ribbon in any of the three colors
* Large wooden beads in the same colors

Paint a thin layer of glue on the thread to ensure the thread remains on the spool. While the thread is drying determine how long you want the necklace to be.

Cut lengths of ribbon long enough to make the necklace and allow it to be tied.

When dry, thread the spools and beads onto the ribbon, alternating spools and beads until the necklace looks good to you. Tie the ribbons off and there’s your necklace.

Another easy patriotic necklace to make is to simply gather small red, white and blue pony beads and clear jewelry cord. Thread the beads in a pattern onto the jewelry cord.

If you can find large star-shaped beads, intersperse them around the necklace. When the necklace looks good to you, tie it off.

You may need to make more than one knot to keep the necklace from coming apart.

One craft you may have done as a child is to make beads out of old magazines or pieces of paper.

Find pictures in magazines which are red, white or blue. Or you can find metallic papers for scrapbooking as well as other scrapbooking papers that have a patriotic theme.

Cut the paper into elongated triangles about 4 inches by 1 inch. Use a wooden skewer or pen insert to wrap the paper around which will leave a hole in the paper bead.

With the wide end of the paper against the skewer, very tightly roll the paper until the point is ready to be stuck to the paper.

Put some glue on the point, allow it to dry a few moments and carefully take the paper bead off the skewer. Continue making the paper beads until you have enough for your necklace.

Then thread them onto a piece of clear jewelry cord and tie it off.

These are some easy methods of how to make a patriotic necklace. Involve your children in making these necklaces.

They can make them for friends and loved ones as well as make some for themselves.

Remember to wear your patriotic necklace whenever you feel like showing off your pride in your country.
