Magical Charm Bracelets
Design, collect, and trade your own charms for this bracelet. Create the magic with Crayola® Changeables™.
1. Cut several long, thin strips of colored construction paper with Crayola Scissors. Choose one strip to use as the base for your bracelet. Wrap the others around it, so the original color shows through. Use Crayola School Glue to glue the strips of paper in place.
2. Trim the bracelet so it's large enough to slip onto your wrist, but not so large that it falls off easily. Glue the strip closed, into a circle. Air dry.
3. Draw charms for your bracelet with Crayola Changeables on white construction paper. What people, pets, music, friends, good times, or places do you want to display on your wrist?
4. Use the Changeables Wand to finish each charm. What happens with the magical colors? Carefully cut out charms.
5. Cut short lengths of narrow ribbon. Fold each thin strip in half and glue it to the back of each charm. Air dry.
6. Tie each charm on your bracelet with more ribbon. Trade charms with your friends. Give these Magical Bracelets as gifts if you like!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
