What You Need: Peace sign-shaped pasta (by Annie’s in the natural foods section), food coloring, leather or faux leather cording, jump rings, zip-close plastic bags.

How You Make It: Place peace pasta in separate plastic bags and add food coloring. Make 3 or 4 colors. Let dry on newspaper and then on foil (so it won’t stick). Once dry, carefully pry open jump rings and loop one around top of each peace sign and reclose. String rings onto cording and tie cord to secure. Peace out!

What You Need: Bottlecap, various sequins (star-shaped is fun), “U,” S,” and “A” letter beads, white glue, self-adhesive pinback.

How You Make It: Spread thin layer of glue in bottlecap. Arrange letters and sequins however you’d like. Fill rest of bottlecap with glue. Let dry overnight (glue will dry clear, or a little cloudy.) If glue looks uneven, add more and let dry again. You could also use a higher-end craft project called dimensional glue, which dries clear with a smooth surface.
