This fun craft is perfect for 2-3 children. But if you’re making these for a class or a party of 4 children or more, grab a TWIZZLERS Twists Rainbow Candy tub. Add chunky texture and fun to your necklaces with marshmallows or TWIZZLERS Bites Cherry Flavored Candy, which already has holes built right in! Need clever holiday crafts?
