Teaching Thursdays: Adventure Geode Necklace
By Candie Cooper



Is your little one a "Rock Hound?" Someone who seeks out rocks and collects them. I don't know many little kids that aren't fascinated with rocks. This is the second part of the Boy Jewelry post from before. This project features geode pendants from Plaid's Inspired Classics line found at JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts.
 


You will need Geode pendants, leather cord, buttons, large jump rings and some multi-purpose adhesive.
 



Open the ring from side to side and attach it to the pendant. Close the ring so it's snug. Use the multi-purpose glue to adhere the buttons and pieces to the front of the geode.



String the pendant onto the cord. Tie one end of the cord around the opposite side cord end in a knot.



Repeat, tying the end of the cord around the opposite side. This makes it so the knots slide up and down so the necklace is adjustable in length--no need for a clasp.



After making this necklace, I thought it might be fun to hide the necklace elements in a shoebox full of dirt. Let your child excavate the items, to go with the adventure theme.
