February's Valentine Craft: Recycled Friendship Bracelets
Are you bored? Are you stuck inside your house because school is closed? Well you will be BORED NO MORE!!!
This is a craft that I made yesterday for my friends......Very FUN!!! I was stuck sick on the couch, and a Friend of mine sent this to me!
RECYCLED FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS:
Step 1 - Gather your Supplies
For this project the only supplies that you will need are:
- any type of plastic bags (colorful bags are better)
- paper from your recycling bin
- a clipboard
- scissors
Step 2 - Get Cutting
After you give the empty bags of your choice a quick rinse, you'll need to cut each bag into strips 1-inch wide by 12-inches long. You may want to measure your wrist to make sure that they will be long enough
Step 3 - Braid Away
Tie three of your strips together at one end. Next, clip that end underneath a clipboard clip to hold it in place while you child braid. Start braiding the bracelet until you reach the end, and then secure the bottom of the braid with another knot.
Step 4 - Add a Card
We found bright colored paper from our recycling bin. Our favorites were some leftover paint swatches from a remodeling project. They added the perfect punch of color! Cut them into small squares or rectangles to include with each bracelet.
Step 5 - Add a Message
We added fun messages to the recycled paper such as; "Please, don't "recycle" our friendship!" or "Please, don't "re-fuse" my friendship!" Then we punched two small holes in the paper and inserted the each end of the bracelets.
