Bread Dough Beads 1 loaf white bread White craft glue Acrylic paint Modge Podge or acrylic sealer Plastic lacing or yarn Straws Bowl Paint brushes
Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Tear the slices of bread into really small bits and place them into the bowl.
After all the bread slices have been shredded, pour the white glue into the bowl with the bread and form a dough, mixing with your hands. Add glue a bit at a time so as not to over-glue the dough.
When the dough is mixed, divide it among the children and have them form small balls for beads or any other desired shape. If you are making beads, use the straws to poke a hole into the balls for string to be put through.
Let the modeled dough sit to dry for about 1 to 2 days.
When the beads seem hard, use acrylic paint to color. When the paint is dry, glaze with either Modge Podge or spray acrylic sealer.
