How to make fabric scrap bracelets
Supplies
- fat quarters or fabric scraps
- alphabet beads
- scissors
Instructions
1. Cut the fabric.
Cut a piece of fabric that’s about an inch wide and long enough to wrap around your wrist with several extra inches to tie.
2. Lay out the beads.
Choose the beads you want to use and lay them out in order.
3. Thread the beads onto the fabric.
Fold one end of the fabric into a narrow point and slide each bead on one at a time. Move them to the middle of the fabric.
To wear the bracelet, tie the ends of the fabric around your wrist. Tie a loose knot so that it’s easy to remove. For young kids, make sure the bracelet isn’t too tight before tying.
Make up a whole bunch of fabric scrap bracelets in different colors. These are fast to make and several stacked together look cute and fun.
