This paper bracelet uses colorful paper paint samples to make a fashionable ankle bracelet. Gather six square paint samples from your local paint store or hardware department. Fold each paint sample in half. Begin to slightly overlap each paint sample with another and use paper clips or clothespins to hold the bracelet together for now. Once your bracelet is completed use a clear craft glue to glue the ends together, removing the clips as you do so. Allow your ankle bracelet to dry completely before wearing.
Origami Ankle Bracelet

Scrap book paper works well for this project because of the multitude of designs that you can pick from to make your ankle bracelet. Start with a piece of paper and lay it on the table wrong side up. Take one corner of the paper and fold it inward about 1/8 of an inch. Make a crease in the paper. Fold the paper up another 1/8 of an inch and make a crease. Continue this until you have reached the top of the paper. Now take a piece of scotch tape and tape around the middle of the bracelet. For longer lasting ankle bracelets you can tape the whole thing. Fasten one end of the pointed ankle bracelet into the other and secure with a piece of tape.

PVC Wrapping Paper Ankle Bracelet

This paper ankle bracelet project will require a piece of PVC plastic from your local hardware store as well as your choice of wrapping paper. Cut the PVC pipe any width you would like your bracelet to be. Make another cut across the width of your PVC pipe so that your bracelet can slip on and off your ankle. Lay the bracelet on the wrapping paper. Use a piece of scotch tape to secure a corner of the wrapping paper onto the inside center of the pipe. Wrap the paper around the pipe two to three times. Cut off the excess paper and then fold in the remaining ends to the center of the bracelet and secure with a piece of tape.
Crayon Colored Construction Paper Bracelet

This bracelet is one that the kids can really get into. Give your kids a piece of white construction paper and some crayons. Have them color the paper in any design they choose. Cut the paper into strips of various widths. Choose one of the thicker strips for the main band of your bracelet. Then choose two thinner strips to glue to the end of the main strip. Wrap these thinner strips around the main strip to make a criss-cross design. Secure the ends together with glue or a piece of tape.
