Another sweet way to include your little ones in the Dress A Girl Around the World ministry is to let her make necklaces for the recipients of the little dresses.  This was a great idea I heard about the other day and I just had to pass it on.  These are a real treasure for a little girl who has literally nothing.  The finished necklaces can be color matched with the dress you are giving and placed in the pocket of the dress.

I bought this ribbon for 44 cents a roll, but I’m sure you could find it cheaper on sale..  I cut the ribbon at 28 inches.  This seemed big enough to even clear our 8 year olds head.

Next you need some pony beads.  You can pre cut the ribbon and put it in bags so its ready whenever your little ones need some busy work.

I told Jo Anna how I pray for each little girl as I am making her dress, and that she should pray for the little girl as she was making her necklace.  I said that we should pray for God to keep her safe and that she would love Jesus and serve Him, that she would grow up to be a momma who would teach her children about Jesus.  It is very sweet to walk by and see her little head bowed and a whispered petition coming from her lips.
