</div>These cheerful swaps will be a big hit with your fellow scouts. They are simple to make and are available in convenient swap kits.<br />
<br />
The smiley face beads come in 6 different expressions and are perfect with colorful faceted beads.<br />
<br />
To make these swaps, you need coilless safety pins, which you need to open up wide to thread on the beads all the way down to the head of the pin, this leaves the end free for pinning onto hats, bags, vests, or wherever you keep your swap collection.<br />

With hundreds of beads to choose from, you can create all types of bracelets and necklaces in different colors and styles. The bracelet in our example was created with Czech glass beads, Millefiori (flower) beads, and plastic alphabet beads.<br />

Using coilless safety pins and beads, these are a fun Girl Scout craft for any age to enjoy making and sharing. With our alphabet beads and colored beads, you can create swaps with special sayings for all your friends.<br />

This leaves the end of the pin free of obstruction when you pin it on. Normal safety pins have coils that do no allow you to do this when stringing beads onto them.<br />

<a href="http://www.beadbee.com" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fHiwaF3rBIboLpRpOxzHaOF4Q-I-dCLK5j_vfnFwsNF4EfaPq_3fln3WGBWYQwvOu5JFltxt7NeNBGb30rcnHBK5_Vtu1lk2fJEE5Gxy8TvxK92nLR0azOEFZuLvevDye-1w-qSDlG0/s320/phonebracelet2.jpg" /></a><br />
I am not sure which parent invented this idea, but they are helpful in keeping phone number literally close at hand until your child memorizes it.<br />
<br />
Our design features <a href="http://www.beadbee.com/proddetail.php?prod=plastic-white-number-beads-56500">6mm number beads</a>, <a href="http://www.beadbee.com/products.php?cat=95">mini pony beads</a> and 2mm elastic cord. We chose the thick elastic cord for durability, and the cube shape of the number beads have large enough holes as do the pony beads to accommodate the thicker cord.<br />
<br />
More than numbers...don't stop here, you can use number beads to celebrate important dates or alphabet beads for your group motto, girl's names or special sayings.<br />
