DIY Beaded Jump Ropes (12 Pack)

DIY Beaded Jump Ropes are a colorful, feel-good craft that girls love because they get to make something cute, personalized, and actually fun to use right away.

Make a Cute Jump Rope That Feels Totally Yours

This project is the perfect mix of creativity and movement. Kids string pony beads onto the rope to create colorful patterns, name designs, or fun “friendship” color themes, then they get to use what they made for games, recess, and active play.

It is especially popular with girls because the finished rope feels personal, stylish, and share-worthy. It also works beautifully for parties, camp days, after-school activities, and programs that want a craft with an energetic payoff.

Bead colors may vary, making each rope unique and keeping group crafting exciting because no two designs come out the same.
