Bread Dough
Beads
Need:
1 loaf white bread, White craft glue, Acrylic paint, Modge Podge, Plastic
lacing, yarn or wool, Straws, Bowl, Paint brushes
Instructions:
Cut the crusts from the bread slices. Break the slices of bread into
really small bits and place them into the bowl. After all the bread slices
have been shredded, pour
the white glue into the bowl with the bread and form a dough, mixing with
your hands. Add glue a little bit at a time so as not to over-glue the
dough. When the dough is mixed, divide it among the children and have them form
small balls for beads or any other desired shape. If you are making beads, use the straws to poke a hole into the balls for
string to be put through.
Let the modeled dough sit to dry for about 1
to 2 days.
When the beads
seem hard, use acrylic paint to color. When the paint is dry, glaze with
either Modge Podge or spray acrylic sealer. String with
plastic lacing or yarn. Enjoy
