King Tut was discovered with 13 bracelets, 15 rings, and other earrings and amulets found on his body. Today, we still wear jewelry on our necks, hands, fingers, and all over our bodies. Although jewelry is most frequently associated with girls, boys have also been known to wear these beautiful accessories. Afterall, King Tut was a boy! Try to make your own necklaces and bracelets using these easy-to-follow instructions.

• String
• Beads (of any shape or size, as long as they have a whole for the string)
• Scissors
• Clasp (optional)

1. Cut a piece of string in the desired length for a bracelet or a necklace. Make sure you make it large enough so it will fit over your hand or head
2. Tie a knot at one end of the string
3. Place the beads on the string in any pattern you desire
4. Tie a knot (or attach a purchased clasp) on the other end

Be creative:

• Use different sizes and colors of beads
• Try gluing interesting things to the beads, like animals, small toys or flowers
