Water Bottle Bracelet

How we did it:
Materials List
- plastic water bottle, empty
- x-acto knife (for grownup use only)
- ribbon
- masking tape
- tacky glue
- buttons (optional)
-
The first step is a grown-up only step. I did this before I sat down with my daughter to craft. Using an X-Acto knife, cut the bottom off of the bottle and then cut out some bracelet bands. They can be as wide as you'd like.
-
Next I used a piece of masking tape to hold one end of a ribbon to the inside of the bracelet. This held it in place so it would be easy to wrap.
-
Now you can hand off the bangle to the kids to wrap the ribbon around and around until the bracelet is fully covered.
-
You could do one color ribbon or do several layers and different widths of ribbon to create a fun multicolored bangle. Once you reach the end of the ribbon, seal the ribbon with a dab of tacky glue.
-
We had some fun decorative flower buttons we added on. You could also make a felt flower for a sweet bangle look.

My daughter adores her new bangles. She chose everything about them, so she should!
