Posted: 01 Mar 2010 01:34 AM PST

Everyone knows accessories are what make your outfit! Even kiddos need some good go-to accessories. These simple bracelets are colorful and easy to make, and can even work as updated versions of friendship bracelets. Make a few to give to friends!

Supplies for Elastic Band Bracelets:

  • Chubby elastic hair bands
  • Foam stickers

If you buy your supplies at the dollar store, this project can be as cheap as $2 for a whole arm full of cool bracelets. This will also make a great group craft for parties or scout meetings.

To Make:

Choose your favorite foam stickers and stick to elastic bands, Band-Aid style (you know, like around your finger). Repeat, and make one for all your friends!
