Paper Friendship Bracelets
After making a weaved background for our Eggshell Mosaic project, I had a couple 1.5” wide strips of paper left over. My daughter was eager to work on another project (even though it was time for me to prep lunch!), so I grabbed a strip and told her she could decorate it, and we’d make a bracelet!
She happily got right to work, and was so excited to get the decorating finished so we could turn it into a bracelet. But, as my smart little one pointed out, this particular paper strip was too wide for her delicate little wrist. So, we decided to cut it down the middle to make two bracelets—one for her and one for mommy! A simple staple for the “clasp” and then…. Voila, mother-daughter “friendship bracelets!”
Believe it or not, these paper bracelets lasted for the entire day. They were just wide enough to be comfortably pushed up and out of the way for handwashing. Of course, the time came soon enough to cut them off—but it was SO much fun while it lasted! I must admit, for such a simple project, it surly kept her busy while making it and it made her happy for the entire day :)
