I have a fun bracelet craft for you…. and the only materials you need for it can be found in your home.  I am going to show you how to make a springy paper bracelet made from colorful paper.  And, don’t think just because this bracelet is made out of paper that it is weak.  On the contrary, it is very strong.  The bracelet is made up of many, many folds in the paper making it very strong.  So, let’s get started.

Materials Needed

2 Different Color Sheets of Paper

Glue or Tape

Scissors

 

Step 1

Cut 4 slits of paper from each color paper.  If you are using longer sheets of paper then just cut 3 slits of paper from each color paper.

Step 2

Glue or tape strips together end to end.

 

Step 3

Now, take the 2 different color strips of paper and glue or tape together at a 90 degree angle… like a letter “L”.

 

Step 4

Pull strip #1 over strip #2 and fold it over.

 

Step 5

Now orange (#1) is folded over blue (#2).

 

Step 6

Pull blue (#2) and fold #2 over orange (#1).

 

Step 7

Now, blue (#2) is folded over orange (#1).

 

Step 8

Fold orange over blue (1 over 2).

 

Step 9

This is what it should look like with orange (#1) folded over blue (#2).

 

Step 10

Fold blue over orange (#2 over #1).

 

Continue folding the bracelet in this way until it is the desired length you want.  Cut and either glue or tape.  That’s it.  You have a springy paper bracelet.  You can even make a necklace by making a longer one.  Keep it for yourself or give it to a friend.  They’ll love it.
