Friendship Necklaces Craft Inspired By My Little Pony The Movie Blu-Ray and DVD!

A special thank you goes out to Lionsgate for providing my family a copy of the My Little Pony The Movie Blu-Ray and DVD, film press materials, as well as inspiring this Friendship Necklaces Craft. Opinions expressed are that of my own.

If you have a child that is into My Little Pony, then you know that these adorable equine heroes are all about friendship and fun.

In the new My Little Pony The Movie this theme shines through as well as the idea of working together to accomplish a goal and to save their friends and home, Ponyville.

My daughter loved this film and thought it was so cute. In addition, she also liked Princess Skystar (a sea pony played by Kristin Chenoweth) because of her humor as well as affinity for crafting!

After seeing the film myself and thinking about all these ideas, (friendship, fun, and crafting) I was inspired to setup a Friendship Necklace Activity for my daughter.

If you would like to recreate this craft with your kiddos, here is what you will need:

Sheets of colorful thin foam
Pony Beads (Thank you Craft Project Ideas for the gift, these came in handy!)
Colored Twine
Safety Scissors
Single Hole Punch
Black Pen

Tip: Since this involves small parts and twine, small children should be supervised by a parent when assembling the necklaces as well as when wearing them.

Directions:

To get started, first pick a color of foam for the Friendship Necklace Craft. FYI, we made a few variations with different colors.

Then cut out a small heart shape, cut it jaggedly down the middle, and use the hole punch to make an opening on each side. (The hearts were about 2 and half inches in length)

Next, we picked out a color of twine and cut about 40 inches. This was looped through each hole on the hearts.

Then it was time to come up with a pattern for the pony beads. We started off with 10 for each necklace, with the colors of Rainbow Dash in mind.

To finish the necklaces, my daughter wrote out “Best Friends” along the line and I adjusted the twine to fit over her head, tied it, and cut the extra off.

As you can see, these Friendship Necklaces are easy to assemble and there are so many ways that they can be designed.

I think this would be an excellent activity for a My Little Pony Birthday Party or a play-date.
