Jazz up a simple kerchief and make it a very special fashion accessory like this Easy Beaded Kerchief. We used seed beads, but  you can also use e-beads or even pony beads to make the job easier and faster.

Trivia:

A bead is a small item with a hole in it for stringing. Beads can be made from many different things including wood, glass, and gemstones. The oldest known beads are over 100,000 years old. Source: KidzSource – Bead Facts For Kids
