Do you have a little princess at your house? If you do, she’ll love this bracelet. It’s fun and easy to make and she’ll be able to do just about everything herself! So if your little princess is looking a little bored, pull out the craft jewels, felt and a toilet paper or paper towel tube and get crafting!
Speaking of bracelets, be sure to try my popsicle stick bracelets too!
Cardboard Tube Princess Bracelet
You will need
Cardboard tube
Scissors
Pink felt
White craft glue
Craft jewels
What you do
Cut cardboard tube into 1.5″ wide rings (for each bracelet). Cut each ring open so that the bracelet can be easily slipped onto child’s wrist.
Cut a strip of felt 1.5″ wide long enough to cover the tube.
To gauge the size needed, cover the inside and outside of the tube, trim where needed.
Use white craft glue to attach the felt to the cardboard tube.
Using a generous amount of white craft glue, cover the outside of the bracelet with craft jewels. Let it dry completely.
If you would like to make a bracelet that’s more mature, maybe you have a daughter who has outgrown the princess stuff…
Put different colors of paint into a paint palette. Dip paintbrush into one color, the dot the brush into one or two more colors to mix.
Don’t stir the colors, just dip, then apply to the cardboard.

Pamela Rosenberg says
My little princess is a bit too old for this now and not old enough for a princess of her own yet but what a clever idea. I know so many little girls that would go gaga for this.
Thank you for submitting my violin to the the crafting website. I was unfamiliar with it so another thank you for the heads up. I am sure I will be able to find a lot of inspiration there in brief amounts of time. That is valuable. :)
Have a great week and thanks again,
Pam @ Becolorful

Very cute! My little girl isn't quite old enough to "get" using glue and gems and waiting for something to dry. But maybe we can borrow your idea and make some bracelets with stickers. Thanks for the ideas!

Very fun craft project for kids. I really like the painted version.
