How to Make
This is the perfect choice for little bookworms. The bookmarks will make fantastic party favours or thank you gifts, and you can personalise them by writing on the stick. They can also be used to help you mark your page!
Who doesn't love a good badge?! These are fantastic as an activity to do with kids at a party or on-the-go as you don't need wait for anything to dry – just peel, stick and you're good to go!
Peel the backing off of the badge pin and stick on to your Aquabeads piece firmly.
Top tip: Solid designs make sturdier badges so try to avoid using creations that have finer points. If you wanted to make the badges hardier you could apply superglue to the broochpin to give them a longer life.
This spotty Aquabeads-topped giftbox is such a happy little project, perfect for giving a loved one a fun surprised that's perfectly packaged. The sticker spots complement the Aquabeads design. As well as for gifting, this box will be ideal for holding tiny treats or trinkets.
1. Apply the stickers randomly over the box, leaving a space roughly in the centre for your Aquabeads piece.
2. Put a blob of glue roughly the size of the Aquabeads in the centre of the lid of the box and place the Aquabeads shape on top.
Top tip: You may need to place something on top of the box while the glue is drying to ensure the Aquabeads stay flat.
These cards are so unique, they're such a quick and easy way to make really impressive cards. I like to keep a stock of blank cards to hand so that we can add our Aquabeads and have thank you cards whenever we need them.
1. Put a blob of glue on the card roughly where you want the shape to be and place on the Aquabeads. You may need to place something heavy on top to ensure the Aquabeads stay flat.
2. Stamp on your greeting.
This pretty little jar is just the thing for storing your stray Aquabeads, or any other kind of small craft items you may have. They also make quirky spice jars!
1. Put a blob of glue on the jar lid and place on the Aquabeads.
Top tip: You may need to place something heavy onto the Aquabeads to ensure they stay flat while drying.
These gift tags are the perfect way to personalise your gift wrapping. The beads stand out well against the tags and are fabulous little keepsakes.
1. Put a small blob of glue onto the gift tag and then place on the Aquabeads shape.
Top tip: You may need to place something heavy on the Aquabeads to ensure they stay flat.
