Mona Lisa shares these instructions for making a simple bracelet using only masking tape and glitter.

Materials Needed:

  • Masking Tape
  • Glitter

Instructions:
Use a piece of masking tape to form a bracelet that will fit over a child's hand. You want the tape to be sticky side out. Now simply let the child dip the masking tape bracelet into a bowl of glitter until the sticky side is completely covered. He or she can also sprinkle glitter on it while holding it over the waste paper bin.

That's it! You now have a beautiful, sparkly bracelet. One of the neat things about this bracelet, besides the fact that is only takes a few seconds to make, is that it is also a light reflector. A child can put his or her wrist in the sunlight and all of the colored sparkles will be reflected onto the table or wall. Children are amazed at what they can do and love to show off!

I hope you enjoy making this bracelet craft. If you make this glittering craft, make sure you send in a photo so it can be posted here. You can also get your own crafts published.
