These bracelets were made by finding colourful paper from magazines and free newspapers. Cut the paper into 10 inch strips like long isoceles triangles tapering to a point, the base being about an inch and a half long. Paste pva glue to the wrong side and roll up the paper from the wider end first. Roll tightly and hold until the bead sticks together. You can roll onto cocktail sticks or I use a thin knitting needle. Use clear nail varnish to add gloss and protect the paper. Allow to dry and thread on elastic. Voila. You have an original bracelet just right for a mother's day gift. Why not give this a try?
