Northern Michigan Easy Kids Crafts - Beach Jewelry

If you're headed up north for a summer, Michigan vacation - here's a great project for the kids (and adults too!).

Before you hit the express way, stop by JoAnn Fabrics, Michaels or Hobby Lobby and grab a pack of "blank rings". Blank Rings feature a ring with a flat top; you can use the flat top for anything from fun and funky puzzle pieces to cool charms and more.

When you get to your Northern Michigan destination, make sure you visit one of the Great Lakes.
Have the kids find some shells, flat rocks and fossils.

Take your "collection" home and clean it off really good. You can also opt to buy a Rock Tumbler from Hobby Lobby ($40 retail - use 40% Off One Item Coupon). A Rock Tumbler will turn the rocks into amazing pieces of stone jewelry.

Now take the cleaned collection and hot glue or super glue to the Blank Ring top base! - Excellent project and what a great way to make cost effective Christmas gifts!
