Mini Playground Necklace
Pieces
Thin dowels (I used 5mm)

Fake grass (you could make your own, but I got mine from one of those landscape samples, and then I trimmed it down)
Thin wire
Cloth tape
Super glue
Scissors
Ruler
String

Painting
Make sure to paint before you glue the pieces together
Making the Ladders
You really want to glue on each piece individually, I used fast drying super glue, but hot glue would work also.
First put a small amount about 1cm from the top of one of your 1inch long dowels then press a 1cm piece to it.
Repeat on the other side and then glue on another 1 inch long piece. This will make the vertical ladder.
Make two of these, and glue the second one to the top of the vertical ladder (making a horizontal one as well)

Glue the .7 long pieces to the top of the horizontal ladder
Glue the second 1.3 inch long piece to the very top of the vertical ladder
Glue the .7 long pieces to the top of the horizontal ladder

The Pull Up Bar
Form the pull up bar by molding little hooks around your dowel. Glue the hooks down.
This should go on the end the was attached to the horizontal ladder.

The Rope
To make the rope, first tie it onto the dowel (glue down if necessary), then tie small knots in the rope (make sure to put one on the very bottom.
This should go on the end that is glued to the vertical ladder.

Putting It All Together
You'll want to glue the pieces together in the shape of a jungle gym
Cut out grass (or make some yourself) and glue to the bottom.
