Butterfly Bobby Pin

What You'll Need:
-- Scissors
-- Fabric pen
-- Card stock
-- Bobby pins
-- Pipe cleaner
-- Fusible webbings
-- Plain fabric

How to Make It:

2. Fold a pipe cleaner in half over middle. Slide a bobby pin onto the pipe cleaner in the back.

3. Twist pipe cleaner to secure. Trim ends of pipe cleaner so they aren't too long. Bend the trimmed ends to form antennae.

Paper Bead Jewelry
These necklaces are made out of beads formed by rolling paper along a toothpick.We used origami paper, but you could also use wrapping paper or magazine clippings.

What You'll Need:
-- Origami paper (4-by-4-inch squares)
-- Ruler
-- Pencil
-- Toothpick
-- Craft glue
-- Paintbrush

How to Make It:
1. Each 4-by-4-inch square will make seven 1-inch beads.On one edge of each square, mark a point at 1-inch intervals. On the opposite side, mark points at 1/2 inch, 1 1/2 inches, 2 1/2 inches, and 3 1/2 inches, which will be the tips of four triangles. Connect the points using a ruler and pencil to form triangles, and cut out.

2. For each triangle, place colored side of paper down, and start rolling from the wide end along a toothpick (use one a bit longer than the base of triangle) for about 1/2 inch. Spread glue along the rest of the triangle with a paintbrush, then finish rolling until the end. Slide bead off the toothpick, and let dry.

3. Cut a piece of string to desired length of necklace, and knot 1 inch from the end. Slip the beads onto the string; tie ends together, and trim.
