Making edible candy jewelry is a fun and simple craft that kids of all ages will enjoy. You can make edible candy jewelry using many different types of candy. And edible candy jewelry makes terrific gifts that your kids can give to friends and relatives. This craft project is also a good activity to do during a child's party or sleep over. Let the jewelry making begin! Step 1: Buy your candy or cereal to use for the jewelry. You will need candy or cereal that has holes in it such as Life Savers, Fruit Loops or Cherrios. You can also use licorice sticks or Twizzlers (Twizzlers come in many colors) and cut the ropes so you have short pieces with holes in the center. But you are not limited to candy with holes! You can use any soft candy that is pliable enough to pierce a hole through. Soft candy like gummy bears or jelly beans are a good option. Mini marshmallows are also good and they come in colorful fruit flavors. For soft candy without holes, just pierce them with a toothpick or skewer. Step 2: Get your jewelry string. As for what you will string the candy on, it's up to you. If you want totally edible pieces of jewelry, you can use shoestring licorice. If you don't mind just chewing the candy off a string, you can use any cord to make your jewelry. But using shoestring licorice is more fun, because you can gobble up the entire piece of jewelry! Step 3: Start stirring your jewelry by cutting your shoestring licorice to any length you need, depending on whether you are making a necklace or a bracelet. If you want a very long necklace using the shoestring licorice, simply tie two pieces together. Put the candy you are using in separate bowls on your table and just start stringing your jewelry! Leave enough room at the end of your string to allow you to tie a knot. Please see my other articles! How to Make Edible Chocolate Clay How to Substitute Chocolate in Recipes
