Are you looking for something unique and fun to do when it comes to making beaded necklaces? Have you ever considered making a Native American necklace out of noodles? Here are the materials that you will need: food coloring, rubbing alcohol, macaroni noodles, a Ziploc baggie or bowls, and yarn. It is important to give yourself lots of time to make this necklace as it takes a bit of time for the macaroni to dry. Remember also that will take hours for the noodles to reach the desired color, and could take as long as 24 hours. And children, if you are considering this is a project on your own, it is important to have an adult help you.

To begin with, you want to color the noodles blue and red. Keep one baggie or bowl aside for each color. Put the noodles in the container and pour in rubbing alcohol until they are all covered. For each color desired, add a generous amount of one color of food coloring to each bowl or bag. Set them aside for several hours until they achieve the desired color you would like. Remember that they may have to soak longer for more brilliant colors. When they have reached the color you would like, take them out and lay them on paper towels to dry. Now you are ready to make Native American beaded necklaces!

The next step is to cut lengths of string for bracelets, and clips, rings, or necklaces depending on what you would like. Start out by tying the noodles to the end of the piece of yarn to get you started, and then string the other noodles on as well. Remember to be creative and to make different color patterns. Once you're done, tie the ends of the string together. Remember that you can use a paintbrush and acrylic paints to make your beaded necklace, and even paint small designs on your noodles. There you have it, making beaded necklaces has never been so much fun!
