Cuff Bracelets from toilet paper rolls

We made these sweet bracelets from paper supplies I had on hand and an empty toilet paper roll.
I gathered our scissors, glue sticks and other odds and ends, not sure exactly what they would want to use. They had each received a hole punch with their initial from Grandma Gale last Christmas, so I got those out too.
I cut the toilet paper roll down the length and then cut two horizontal strips about 2 inches wide. They put glue all over the top side of the cardboard and glued on the striped paper.
After their paper-cutting and letter-punching frenzy, they each stuck a circle sticker onto their band and glued their initial in the middle.
Now for the best part. I had these diamond jewel stickers and they went crazy with them. I wasn't expecting them to use so many, but hey, when you're four you're not afraid of a little bling.


I tied the back with a short piece of raffia threaded through a hole punch on each end.
Don't we look cute? I thought these could be helpful at an amusement park. I could write my cell phone # inside the paper bracelet. In case one of them got lost, they could show the phone number to a park employee. Fun and functional!
