Welcome to the Creativity for Kids Craft of the Month! We will be providing you with a new craft each month. The craft will be a great activity for kids and parents to work on together. So get busy crafting!!!

Check back next month for our next great craft idea!

Make Your Own Cute & Cozy Recycled Wrist Wraps

Level of Difficulty: Intermediate - Parental supervision required for specific tasks
Estimated Completion Time: 30-60 minutes
Theme: Jewelry

In January we took an old sweater and long-sleeve t-shirt and turned them into throw pillows.  We told you to keep the cut-off sleeves to use on another craft and here it is.  This wrist wrap bracelet at left is made from the cuff of the long-sleeve t-shirt we cut up last time!

You can also use socks.  Do you have a fun pair of socks that has a hole? Or did you lose one of the pair…now you have a great use for these.  We show you how to make several varieties, but each wrap will be as unique as the socks or shirts you start with and your own creative flair.

When you are done, we'd love to see your artwork. Please go to our gallery and upload your finished
masterpiece! We can't wait to see it! If you like to Blog, send us a comment and tell us about your
experience!
