Friendship Cuff Bracelets
Friendship bracelets have never been cooler (or easier to make) than these awesome cuff bracelets you can make from TP rolls! Each TP roll will make two bracelets, so your child can make one for herself and one for her BFF.
Materials
Directions
Cut a 4.5'' toilet paper roll down one side, lengthwise.
Cut the roll in half widthwise, making two cuff-shaped pieces.
Tie a piece of embroidery thread around each cuff. Wrap the thread around the cuff several times in a criss-cross pattern. Tie the ends together in the back when finished.
Have your child paint her bracelets and then allow them to dry.
Once they're dry, your child can wear them with a good friend. She can also make more if she has other friends who might like to wear matching bracelets.
