I love to celebrate Mother’s Day and I love the gifts that the kids make for me even more, even if it’s a little card, they are just the best! I think every mother probably loves it right? I am excited for Sunday to come and see what will the kids make me and spend the day together.
On my side I often try to give handmade gifts to my mom and this time I decided to make her a necklace, she loves necklaces! (if you check the pictures I posted in this post she’s often wearing bead necklaces).
I’ve seen these type of wooden necklaces all over the internet and I wanted to try my version of them so I finally did!
It really is super easy and it’s something you can do with the kids too, Maya said she wanted to do one with me, so we will be making more during the weekend, maybe she can make one for me too!
Wood Bead Necklace
Supplies:
- Wooden beads (big, small, medium and any other shape you like)
- Craft paint (It can be acrylic)
- Leather cord
- Paintbrushes
- Scissors
- Skewers, sticks or any other object that can hold the beads
- Varnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Pick a combination of colors for your necklace.
- Stick the skewers through the beads to paint them easier.
- Paint the beads however you like.
- Let them dry.
- (Optional) If you like the beads to be less opaque, apply varnish, I used polyurethane which is not so glossy, it leave s a nice satin finish but in some others I left them all opaque and it looks good too.
- Cut the cord to the length desired.
- Cord the beads and make a knot at the end to close.

– E S P A Ñ O L –
A mi fascina celebrar el día de las madres y me me fascinan más aún los regalitos hechos por los niños, aunque sea una tarjetica, son lo máximo! La verdad que yo creo que toda madre le encantan no? Estoy emocionada de que llegue este domingo para ver que me darán los nenes y simplemente pasar el día juntos.
Por mi lado, yo muchas veces trato de darle regalos hechos a mano a mi mamá y esta vez se me ocurrió hacerle un collar, a ella le encantan! (si se dan cuenta en las fotos que puse ella sale muchas veces con collares de cuentas).
Este tipo de collares de madera los he visto muy de moda y he visto varios en Pinterest que me encantan, desde hace tiempo estaba que quería hacer mi versión, así que porfin lo hice!
De verdad que es super fácil y es algo que se puede hacer con los niños también, ya Maya me dijo que quería hacer uno conmigo, así que ella hasta me puede hacer uno a mi!
Collar con cuentas de madera
Materiales:
- Cuentas de madera (bolas grandes, pequeñas y cualquier otra figura que gustes)
- Pintura de manualidades (puede ser acrílico)
- Cuerda de cuero para joyería
- pinceles
- Tijera
- Palitos, pinchos o cualquier elemento para agarrar las cuentas
- Barniz (opcional)
Instrucciones:
- Elige una combinación de colores para tu collar.
- Introduce las cuentas en un palito para poder pintarlas fácilmente.
- Pinta las cuentas a tu gusto.
- Déjalas secar.
- (Opcional) Si te gusta que las cuentas queden mas brillantes puedes usar un barniz, el que yo usé es satinado, no tan brillante y en otro collar las dejé todas opacas. Las dos versiones me gustaron.
- Corta la cuerda de cuero del largo deseado.
- Introduce las cuentas en la cuerda y haz un nudo al final.
Este Día de las Madres, Pampers está celebrando a las mamás y esos preciosos momentos de amor con sus nenés dándoles su #RegaloDeAmorPampers para ayudar a las familias a capturar esos momentos de amor con un bebé.
¡ S O R T E O !

May 9, 2015 at 6:05 am¡Hola! Me ha encantado ese collar. En España, los niños muchas veces hacen collares con macarrones en el cole como regalo para el Día de la madre. Por cierto, aquí lo celebramos unos cuantos días antes, no sé por qué razón.
Besos desde Barcelona,
Marta
