A Royal Jewelry Bar Craft is a fun princess party craft where kids create necklaces or bracelets using pearls, gems, and royal charms. This creative DIY activity is perfect for princess birthday parties, fairy parties, or spa-themed celebrations, and each guest leaves with a sparkling keepsake they designed themselves.

Running the Jewelry Bar

Before the party begins, cut pieces of elastic cord or jewelry string to the right size for bracelets or necklaces. Tie a small knot(s) so the beads don't slide off while the kids are working.

Set bowls of beads and charms in the center of the table and give each guest a small tray or plate. Kids can choose a few beads and charms they like and place them on their tray.

For younger guest, larger beads and bigger stretch cord work best, and you can help them double knot the bracelet or necklace closed. Give it a little tug to make sure it's secure .

Older guests will work with smaller beads, smaller cord, metallic spacers, and clasp closures for a more detailed design. For bracelets, using a crimp bead is super easy because you just bring the two ends together, push them through the center of the crimp bead and use pliers to close.
