    INSTRUCTIONS

    Use the hole punch, to punch as many circles out of the fun foam as your heart desires.
    When you get tired of that, collect them into a small container or zip lock bag.
    Decide what you want to make, a necklace, bracelet or anklet. Measure and cut the length of thread you need. More is better than less.
    Start by attaching a jewelry clasp using a crimper to one end of the thread. Crimpers work best, but tying knots will work too. Just dab a little glue to the knot to keep it tied, then thread the needle on the other end.
    Start putting on the punched fun foam circles. Just push your needle through the centre of each punched circle.
    Keep putting on circles till you have reached your desired length. Attach the other clasp onto the other end using a crimper. Trim the extra thread.
    You can add beads to your necklace as well. If beads do not fit over the needle just unthread the needle and the bead should go onto the thread just fine, and then rethread the needle to carry on with the fun foam circles.
    Make matching sets for you and all your friends.
    This is a great idea for birthday parties, girl get-togethers and sleepovers.

    The pink anklet has a toggle clasp and the necklaces have regular clasps.
