Bunches of Bracelets

You’ll have a blast making this bunch of beautiful bracelets! Create sparkling bangles to wear, trade with your buds, decorate your room, or give as gifts.

1. Cut Crayola® Color Explosion™ paper into 1-inch (2.5 cm) by 8-inch (20.3 cm) strips with Crayola Scissors. Cut straight lines, wavy edges, or vary the width to create unique bracelets.

2. Use the color-reveal markers and Crayola Glitter Glue to decorate your bracelets. Let your imagination be your guide! Air-dry your sparkling designs.

3. Place a self-stick tape "hook" piece on the top of one end of each bracelet. Place a "loop" piece on the bottom of the other ends. Press the two ends together to wear each bracelet. Remember, your bracelets are paper, so keep them dry!

Go for the gold! Jewelry has been around since ancient times and has been made from many different materials such as berries, nuts, seeds, perforated stones, feathers, bone, shells, ivory, and metals. Although bronze and silver are often used to create jewelry, gold is the preferred metal in many cultures.
