Wrap-Around Wristbands

Show your team colors. Stand up for your cause. Show pride in your culture. Your family and friends will want to wear these brightly colored wristbands, too!

1. Tear strips of dark construction paper into sections that fit around your wrist, or ask an adult to cut strips for you. Make some wide, some narrow.

2. Decorate the strips with Crayola Gel Markers. The colors look really bright on dark paper! Will your wristbands be royalty’s sparkling jewels? Beaded like a Lakota wristband? Decorated as a good-luck amulet? Your ID for a marathon? Fill each strip with cool designs, words written in puffy letters, or a fun theme.

3. Wrap each wristband loosely around your wrist. Tape in place.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"The kids make wristbands and then trade with each other. Someone makes cuffs, ankle bracelets, or wristbands every day."
Frieda S., camp counselor.

"Kids make these color-coded wristbands to identify teams. Great fun!"
Hal U., after-school care provider.

People have been making jewelry and body adornments for a very long time. Even before the Greeks and Romans made jewelry, Ancient Egyptians made and wore very ornate adornments, as did many other ancestors.
