**Only an adult can use the exacto knife to "drill" the holes**

Take a screw on milk jug lid preferable red, green or yellow.  With an
exacto knife “drill” two holes in the lid.   If you want a bracelet, “drill” the on  opposite sides so a pipe cleaner can go all the way through the lid.  If
you want a necklace, “drill” two holes at the top about ¼” apart.  you will also need to “drill” a hole at the very top.  Cut a piece of brown pipe
cleaner 1 inch long.  Thread it through the top hole.  Then string plastic
lacing through it making a pendent or string a pipe cleaner through to  make a bracelet.   Cut a small scrap of green fun foam for a leaf.  Hot
glue it to the milk jug lid.  Complete the necklace/bracelet by stringing
the beads on.  Take time to talk about symmetry or having the same
pattern on each side.  If you have older children you can have them
follow the printable children directions.
