So remember the freezer paper stenciled favor bags I shared the other day? 
Well, I mentioned I was working on a little something-something to go in these favor bags.And now here's that something-something. 
Bubble gum necklaces!These are my little Valentine treats I made up to send to my nieces & to give to one of our little neighborhood friends.I know they say diamonds are a girl's best friend but I'm thinking for the 10 & younger crowd it may be something like bubble gum & unicorns.....oh, and that Justin Bieber kid. Interested in making some fun bubble gum necklaces yourself? They are super easy to put together {the only hard part is piercing the gumball with out destroying it!} and you can mix & match the colors to spice things up a bit. Step 1: Pierce a hole on one side of the gumball using a metal skewer, or knitting needle, or get totally creative & crazy and use a meat thermometer as I did {a clean one of course!}. Avoid piercing the hole all the way through, otherwise the gumball will just crack in half. Step 2: Flip the the gumball over and pierce a hole on the other side. Try to line this hole up with the first hole you pierced on the other side. Step 3: String your ribbon through the hole using a long needle.The thicker the ribbon the harder it is to loop through. Step: Tie the ends of your ribbon into a bow. To fancy things up tie a coordinating bow around the necklace near the bubblegum.
I found the bubblegum at our local Party City.They have a variety of fun colors to choose from. 
Pretty enough to wear or eat!Next week I hope to share the Valentine I'm working on for my nephew.
See you on the flip side.
