Making Jewellery from Natural Resources

Forest Club had an amazing time making jewellery from Elder Wood. They learnt lots about the wood first of all, including historical information, how it helps animals and what it is used for. Then the children decided to make a necklace, bracelet, head dress or key ring.

The children sawed their own beads and then poked out the pith before threading them onto a string. Some children stripped off the bark and others used felt tip pens to decorate their beads.
