This is a quick and easy way to make an Egyptian style necklace for your costume.

Difficulty level: Beginners

Instructions:

Materials:
Cardboard
Scissors
Chop stick or medium sized paintbrush
Pen
White glue
String or ribbon
Sparkly glue or paints or colored paper to decorate
Colored paper to cover cardboard - gold is nice

Mark a 1 inch X 3 inch rectangle on scrap paper or cardboard

Mark ½ inch on the left and the right of the top line of the rectangle

Make a line from the left mark you just made to the bottom left edge of the rectangle
Make a line from the right mark you just made to the bottom right edge of the rectangle

Cut out your template

Trace the template on cardboard 12 times for a child’s necklace
And 16 times for an adult’s necklace

Cut out the pieces

Glue them to the back of your gold paper
When completely dry cut it out but leave an extra tab of paper on top 1 ¼ inch higher
And at the bottom about ½ inch

Put a chopstick on top of the paper tab right above the cardboard piece and bring the paper up and over it. Glue only the area where the paper touches the cardboard. Pull the chopstick out. You should have a loop
Fold up the paper sticking out at the bottom and glue in place

Decorate your pieces with lines of sparkles, paint or piece of paper
Decorate all the pieces the same

When dry insert a thin ribbon or string into the loops you made with the chopstick
Your Egyptian necklace is finished!
