Popsicle Stick Bracelets

Step 1: Bring a pot of water to a boil.

Step 2: Add in the popsicle sticks. Chances are you will break at least one during this process, so put in a few more than you need. Let soak for 15 minutes.

Step 3: While sticks are boiling locate a small glass, jar or other object that is about the size of a wrist. Also grab some elastic bands if desired.

Step 4: Remove sticks one at a time and slowly bend them and work them into the inside the glass. You can also wrap them around the cup and secure with an elastic band. Make sure to work carefully so you don’t break them. Set these aside to dry for 24 hours.

Step 5 : Now that you the popsicle stick bracelets are completely dry , remove them from the glass. Gather any supplies you want to use to decorate them. I used Mod Podge, craft paint, glitter dots, rub-on-sayings and hot glue. I also printed off some designs I created on the computer and some scrapbook paper.

Step 6 :Using 150 fine grit sand paper, sand the edges of the bracelet and paper to get rid of any overhang and to create smooth edges.
