Bunches of Bracelets

Why

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.


Steps

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!
