We all know December means peppermint and candy canes, but how about gumballs for a change?

This is a fun new take on the classic candy necklace, with a Christmas-y spin.  They’re perfect for topping gifts, stuffing stockings, or giving out as party favors.  You could even hang them on the tree as a whimsical ornament!

To make them, you’ll need:

gumballs {single color bags are available at party stores}

elastic thread

clean embroidery needle

ribbons

Thread your needle with the elastic thread and then carefully pierce each gumball, working slowly to string the gumballs like beads.  Work slowly, as the gumballs have a tendency to crack when you’re making the second hole.

After the bracelets are your desired length, knot the elastic thread and trim any excess.  Then cover the knot with a pretty coordinating ribbon.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
