With just a few materials, your children can create unique, colorful bracelets to wear or share with friends. Follow these easy steps to start your bracelet-making adventure.


Materials Needed:


  • Assorted buttons (different sizes and colors)

  • Elastic string

  • Scissors


Step-by-Step Instructions:


  1. Measure the String: Cut a piece of elastic string about 10 inches long, ensuring it’s long enough to fit over the child’s hand and around their wrist comfortably.

  2. String the Buttons: Let the kids thread the buttons onto the elastic string. They can create patterns with different colors and sizes or go random for a quirky look.

  3. Secure the Bracelet: Once the string is filled with buttons (leave enough room for tying), help the kids tie the ends of the string together. Make a strong double knot to ensure it doesn’t come undone.

  4. Trim the Excess: Cut off any excess string beyond the knot, being careful not to snip too close to prevent the knot from unraveling.

  5. Wear and Enjoy: The bracelet is now ready to wear! Kids can make multiple to layer or gift to friends.
