The Sochi Winter Olympics opened this Thursday, with much fanfare and celebration. In fact, this display of human achievement and athletic triumph is the perfect activity to accompany craft time! This beautiful and appropriate Olympic Rings necklace created by Remarkably Domestic is a great craft to put together while watching Lolo Jones or Meryl Davis and Charlie White. With detailed instructions on how to wrap cord precisely around five rings and secure them tightly together, the finished product makes for a very polished and impressive necklace. And there’s no time better than the present for this beauty, so take a break to gather materials and get crafting.
