Freelance Friday: Glass Marble Necklace


Here is a great project for tweens and teens. Young girls love jewelry, and here is a way they can create their own. This is such a simple, yet creative way they can be their own jewelry designer. I know when I was little, I was always into making some type of jewelry to wear. Jewelry crafting is a fun way for girls to get into crafting. This glass marble necklace was found on a craft blog called, Happy Cake Crafts. Click here to learn how to make this. This project does not require a lot of supplies. You will need some basic jewelry supplies, and Mod Podge. Enjoy and have a great weekend.
