The best spacer beads to elevate your craft

Spacer beads are the beads that you put to fill in the rest of the necklace or bracelet that you make. Since most jewelry pieces center around a certain style of bead or a few charms, it is vital to have other beads to frame and support the show’s stars. Any bead can be a spacer bead, but when you look for spacer beads, they are designed to fill in space beautifully without pulling any of the attention away from what you should be focusing on.

Spacer beads come in all different shapes, sizes, and materials to mix and match for your bead craft. Sterling silver spacer beads are a classic choice for crafters due to their neutral yet refined color. Gold spacer beads are another choice if you want something a bit more regal for your project. Metal spacer beads can be in multiple shapes, too, like spheres, cubes, and even floral designs engraved into the bead. These give you plenty of options to work with when you create your crafts.

The time has come. You have agreed to let your child invite their friends to your home for a sleepover. Now, you need to figure out how to keep a group of kids entertained for the night.

Food-related activities

Make your own pizza
Who would say no to pizza? Making your own pizza at home is easier than it seems. This way, each child can create their own. You know they will eat the whole thing because kids who help cook are more likely to eat the food. You could use English muffins, flatbread, mini bagels, or whatever else as the base and let the children pick their toppings.
Put together themed charcuterie boards
From holiday to movie themes, let the kids pick out what kind of charcuterie board they want to create and gather the ingredients. Children are so creative, and everyone will love to see what the finished projects look like. You could turn it into a contest and have everyone vote on their favorites, but any activity where you get to eat at the end is a winner for everyone.
Make baked goods
Have you been meaning to make those cookies for weeks? Well, make it a fun activity for the kids to do at the sleepover. Children love to bake and be in the kitchen, and it boosts their self-esteem, but the best part is everyone gets to enjoy the baked goods. If you have any of those themed cookbooks, let the kids pick out a couple of things to bake from there.
