Really fun bracelet project !


This is the bracelet. I took 3 sheets of 12 in. scrapbook paper (not cardstock) and put 2 coats of mod-podge on them with a sponge brush and let dry. Then I cut the paper into rectangles. They were 2 1/2 in. by 6 inches. I made a few practice ones out of regular paper just to see what I liked and the size. I wanted it big to make a statement. I need to make some more in other fall colors. I think it turned out cute! It's just like making those gum wrapper chains, you fold in half long ways, then half again and half again. Ask any old woman, we all made these as kids.

I saw my sister-in-law Lisa this summer with the cutest bracelet and she said her daughter, Claire, made it at Girl's Camp ! I about passed out. I figured that if she could make that at camp, then I could make one too.
