DIY Year Chain to help understand the circle of the year.
The 13th series is ready. Colors will differ from the photo as every dyeing session turns out a little different, but use the same schema.
Beads to make your own Montessori-Year-Chain
Inclued are:
- 365 beads with 12mm diameter - one for every day of the year - dyed with foodcoloring and liquid watercolors (in 12 labeled paperbags)
- 12 beads as reserve
Optional - if don't have some at home:
- 1 little jar of bees wax polish, to give some shine to the beads (the beads won't be inert to salvia or water, but a little more protected!)
What you need:
- paper towel to take excess polish (you can polish before you thread the beads or after threading - before is easier to me - just take up some polish with your finger and apply it to the beads)
- a little bit more than 4 m string - I love a flexible one like this
