Kid Craft: Seed Bead Ring

When I was washing the dishes the other day, I discovered a plastic milk carton seal lying on the counter. Instead of picking it up and throwing it away, I began to inspect it. And the more I looked at it, the more it looked like a ring. So today, my daughter and I tested out my craft idea together. It went so well that I couldn't wait to share it with all of you. Simple directions below.

Supplies:
plastic milk/juice carton seal (picture below)
glue
seed beads
acrylic gloss (optional)

Here's where you can find the plastic seal, under the yellow cap.

This is what it looks like.

1. Apply a thick layer of glue to the top of the plastic dome.

2. Place seed beads on top of the dome. My 3 1/2 year old daughter was able to this all on her
own. I also gave her a toothpick to position the beads where she wanted them.

3. Let dry

4. Brush a coat of Gloss acrylic over the beads ( you could substitute with more glue). This will help keep the beads on the ring. Let dry. Slip onto finger.

Other ideas instead of using seed beads: sequins, scraps from magazines, clay, foam stickers, etc. . .
