Are you in need of a little extra luck? Try making a lucky amulet! People have been making and wearing amulets for hundreds of years, and now you can create your own amulet out of recycled materials and pasta shells.
What You Need:
- Recycled jar lid
- Acrylic jewels
- Glitter
- White glue
- Pasta shells
- String
- Tape

- Once the lid dries, glue on pasta shells, acrylic jewels and glitter to make the whole thing sparkle.
- Take your string and beginning threading it through your pasta shells. The string must be long enough to go over your head. After you have enough pasta shells threaded, tie the string.
