Things You'll Need:
- Ribbon, bead chain or hair elastics
- String
- Small bells
- Pony or letter beads, if desired
-
Step 1
Find lengths of ribbon, metal bead chain, embroidery floss or string to become bracelet bases. You can also use kids' elastic ponytail holders in a pinch.
-
Step 2
Measure your child's wrist, then cut the bracelet to fit, adding a few inches if you'll need to tie it closed.
-
Step 3
Thread the bracelet through the loop in each bell. For a more uniform look—or to secure bells to a closed circle like a ponytail holder—simply use elasticized thread or ribbon scraps to tie bells to the bracelet at even intervals.
-
Step 4
Make the jewelry even more eye-catching by adding letter beads, pony beads, whimsical charms or colorful ribbon knots between the bells.
-
Step 5
Tie the finished project to your child's wrist or add lobster clasps to each end so they can put it on independently.
