ACCESSORIES: Craft Stick Wrapped Bracelets

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 2:11

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Have you ever made popsicle stick bracelets? It’s an old-school craft that’s been around for a long time. For this project, I’m using craft sticks. They’re narrower and a little longer than a popsicle stick. You can get them at most craft stores.

To start with you soak your craft sticks in water. I soaked mine for about 3 hours. I might not have broken so many if I had soaked them longer but I’m impatient and 3 hours was long enough to wait. Once the sticks are pliable you carefully bend them into a bracelet shape. If you want a round bracelet you can bend the bracelet and set it inside a glass to dry. I wanted mine more oval shaped so I bent the stick and then used a binder clip to keep the shape.

I chose to paint my sticks silver. I love silver bangles and so I used Martha Stewart Craft Paint in Sterling Silver. Once the paint was dry, I used some vintage crochet thread to wrap the bracelets. Use a dab of craft glue on the inside of the bracelet and start wrapping.

For the turquoise and gold bracelet, I simply used the white thread and colored it with a Sharpie.

I’m gearing up for warm weather and stacks of these fun bracelets will be a nice accessory. Grab some craft sticks and make some of your own.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
