Easy DIY Kids Bracelet from a Craft Stick

Little girls (and little boys too) love to make jewelry. One of the easiest pieces of jewelry to make is a simple DIY bracelet from a craft stick.

Sometimes the easiest DIY to do with our kiddos can be right under our nose. I’m a believer that you don’t have to spend a lot of money on craft supplies to create with your children. Can you believe that with only a few simple craft sticks, a little water, and a little time you can create your own easy DIY kids bracelet from a craft stick? You won’t believe how simple this is. This is a great kids craft of all ages. Ready, here we go!

DIY kids bracelet from a craft stick

  1. Soak craft sticks in water for at least 2 hours
  2. Pull craft sticks out of the water and start to bend them SLOWLY – if you bend them too fast they might crack or splinter
  3. Bend the sticks enough to fit in a glass. You can also wrap a rubber band around them. Note: the craft stick will expand a little after you remove it so bend it tighter than you want it.
  4. Let the craft sticks sit in a glass overnight or at least 12 hours.
  5. Remove your new “bracelets” and decorate them however you wish!

    I love this – what a simple and effective idea. I’d never have thought about soaking a craft stick in water to try and make it supple enough to bend it. I’ll have to give this a try with my 5-year-old – she would love doing this. #bloggerclubuk
