Craft: Peace Pins

  • Print

This activity is designed by girls for girls! The colours of the beads represent the colours of the rainbow. They have meaning and symbolize how you can help make a peaceful world:

  • Red signifies the Courage to take action
  • Orange signifies the Energy to get involved
  • Yellow signifies Loyalty to your friends
  • Green signifies Hope for a future free from fear
  • Blue signifies Faith in yourself & Trust in others. “A true blue friend"
  • Indigo signifies Power & Dignity for all
  • Violet signified the Strength to stand up for what you believe
  • White signifies a wish for Peace.

Taken together the colours of the rainbow represent our hope for a peaceful, bully-free tomorrow.

Directions:

  • Pick a safety pin (bigger pins are better).
  • String beads onto the pointed end of the pin. Create any colour scheme you like but try to use as many colours as possible to represent the rainbow theme.
  • Put as many beads on the pin as you can, leaving a little room at the end to allow the pin to go through fabric.
  • Wrap ribbon or coloured string around the back on the pin
  • Wear your creation as a token of peace and as a commitment to a bully-free tomorrow.
  • Give them out to friends and family. Ask them to make up a pledge for a bully-free tomorrow.
