Fun with Candy

My baby girl just turned 8! In honor of her special day, we had a rainbow birthday party. 

 I had so much fun planning it...more on that later. 

Today I wanted to show you this fun little party favor that I made... A gumball bracelet and necklace.

I started out with the following supplies:

• a package of large gumballs (5 in this pack) I ordered the gumballs here
• a large needle
• 1mm clear stretchy cord
• a drill with a small drill bit in it

I started by drilling holes into each gumball. Through one end and straight out the other.

Then I threaded the stretchy cord, on a needle, through each gumball.

I added all the gumballs onto one long piece of cording and then tied them off 6 gumballs per bracelet and 8 on the necklace (it looked better and was a better size with these numbers).

I tied a couple knots at the joints and pulled tight. Just like that!

Super easy! So cute! And edible!

Perfect for the birthday girl...

 And a great favor for all her friends.
