Funky Play Bracelets

Most of the time we spend buying expensive kids accessories and our sweethearts end up either breaking them up or losing them within a tiny span of time. So, here is an idea that will enable us to reuse and recycle in an economical and easy way! And no one feels bad even if it breaks in an hour :D

Things required to make this absolutely swanky play bracelets for kids, are-

1. Some colourful plain/glitter foam sheets
2. Craft Glue
3. A pair of scissors
4. Empty Kitchen towel roll
5. Craft paper
6. Pencil

Let's get started by cutting out a 1.5" piece from the used up kitchen towel roll.

First mark an outline with a pencil so that the circular piece that we cut has equal width throughout.

Make a slit in this small roll as shown in the pic.
Now take a colourful craft paper and measure it with the bracelet to cut out a piece.

Stick the craft paper on the bracelet like this,

Fold the edges on the sides to make a neat base.

Now take a foam sheet and cut out a flower

We'll make a layered flower, hence I have cut out smaller pieces from different glitter paper and foam sheets.

Just stick them on top of each other to get the layered effect.

Stick the flower on the bracelet prepared earlier.

Let it set for a while.

You can make different shapes and styles as well.

Let the kids have fun with this easy-peasy pretend play DIY toy!!

Glitter Paper Butterfly

One fine morning I was sitting and thinking about how to make my daughter's room a little more cheerful. Let's add a few specks of colour here and there! I thought. I had a few craft supplies handy and I turned them into a butterfly :) Literally. 

Sharing it here so that even you can add some glitter to your sweetheart's Room. It's very easy to make and doesn't require a lot of things. 

To make this glittery piece all you need is:

1. Glitter paper (different colours)

2. One plain sheet of paper

3. A pair of scissors ✂ 

4. A pencil ✏ 

5. Glue 

6. A piece of craft wire

7. Some sticky beads 

First fold the plain sheet in half and draw the outline of the butterfly.

Now cut the outline as shown

Use these stencils to mark the shapes on the glitter sheets.

Cut out the shapes and stick them as shown in the pic

Take the piece of wire and bend it in half by making it look like a "V".
Curl the ends. Stick the wire at the back of the butterfly's head.

You can use double sided tape or simple sticking tape to fix it in place. Add some beads and voila! The butterfly is ready to adorn your angel's room. You can make them in different sizes and let them fly in your little Flower's imaginary garden :)
