- 1). Purchase supplies that your children will need to make their Indian necklaces. Use macaroni noodles or purchase bags of different types of colored beads at craft shops or a retailer like Wal-Mart that has a crafts department.
- 2). Pour rubbing alcohol on macaroni noodles that you have placed in a plastic bag. Create several bags like this. Next add a little food coloring to each bag of noodles that you want to be a different color.
- 3). Give the noodles enough time to absorb the food coloring and then to change color. The longer you wait the darker the color will become.
- 4). Drain the noodles and place them to dry on wax paper.
- 5). Cut enough string for each necklace that it can be tied at the ends once your child has stung the macaroni beads through. If you are using wooden or plastic beads, simply give your children an array of beads that they can select from to create their Indian necklaces. Once they are done, the children should tie off their necklaces.
