Here’s a couple of seed bead creations that don’t need needle and thread.  They are so quick and easy to do that even the busiest children can find time to make them.  They are also perfect little projects to use up seed beads that you have left over from other crafts. 

 For the Seed Bead Gel Pen, shown at left, you simply cover the pen with glue and add seed beads - but there’s a wrong way and a right way to do this, as we found out for you.

To make  the Seed Bead Tube Bracelets, at right, you’ll need seed beads and a length of clear plastic tubing (the sort that is usually used as an air tube for fish tanks).  At its simplest, you can just fill the tube with assorted seed  beads, then seal.  But check out the instructions and maybe you’ll be inspired to make patriotric seed bead bracelets, team spirit bracelets… or maybe just seed bead bracelets to celebrate each season.
