Instructions

1. Place a Starburst wrapper lengthwise on a table or flat surface. Ensure that the inside of the wrapper is facing up.

2. Fold the wrapper in half from top to bottom to make a long rectangle.

3. Then unfold and cut through the crease. Then repeat the same fold twice to create a long, narrow rectangle.

4. Take one of the cut pieces and fold it in half twice going lengthwise. Ensure that the logo is on the outside when you do the fold.

5. Fold the wrapper in half to create a large V-shape. Then fold the ends of the V-shape toward the center to create an even smaller V-shape.

6. Repeat steps one through four as many times as needed for the rest of your Starbust necklace pieces.

7. Take the first Starburst V-shaped wrapper and open its arms to create openings.

8. Insert the arms of the second wrapper through the openings of the first one. Press the pieces together to create the first link in your necklace.

9. Slide the next V-shaped wrapper into the open ends of the second wrapper. Flip the wrappers over and continue the insertion process to create a zig zag pattern and complete the Starburst necklace.
