Bracelet Pattern
Yesterday, our club members did a fantastic job creating lots of fun gifts using all sorts of items found around their homes. They made pompon snow balls from plastic bags, bracelets from soda pop tops, magnets from screws and other hardware items, and beads from straws and bits of gift wrap and newspaper.
There was a request for the bracelet pattern and I promised to post a link to it here.
The magnet idea came from a book called Funky Junk. It's at the Pohick Library too, if you'd like to check it out.
Have fun thinking of other useful gifts you can make with items you already have!
