As soon as I saw these necklaces I thought of one of my favorite things, Mermaids!!!

Rock Necklaces

• Total Time Needed:

About 1 Hour

A variation on the age-old nature necklace, these wire-wrapped pendants are fun for kids to trade. Some girls paint their names on one side and their best friend's on the other, and wear them as a proclamation of their unbreakable bond.

Materials

• A small rock
• Colored wire (we used 22-gauge)
• Scissors

• Pencil
• Needle-nose pliers
• Colored leather cord

Steps Place the rock at the center of a 15-inch-long piece of wire and wrap the wire around the rock a few times to secure it.

1. Twist together the ends, then wrap the twist around a pencil to form a loop. Use pliers to close the loop, then cut off any excess wire.
2. To finish, thread a necklace-length piece of leather cord through the loop and knot the ends.
