I will show you how to make a colorful bracelet with corrugated paper sheets. You can also use old magazines.

I did these bracelets with my students during a workshop, it works well with 8-10 years old girls. After a couple demo of how to trace and cut, they managed this activity very well.

Mount the beads on a string and design your own bracelet. (Tip: I use a piece of cardboard to keep the beads from sliding off the string).

Tie it up and do another one!
