Fast and Sturdy Christmas Bracelets

Simple cutting - and good for not-so-careful cutters.

Easy instructions - pretty much color, cut a rectangle, fold and glue.

Include a personal, secret message inside of the bracelet.

These end up looking like the popular friendship bracelets.

Yes these are the same designs as our other Christmas bracelets, but these are made using regular paper and they will be sturdy. The construction is different, but still VERY EASY.

Luke 2: 1-20, and Matthew chapters 1 and 2

NOTES BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Teachers cut and separate the 3 bracelets on each page. The red line divides them. Each includes general instructions.

Teach a new technique: Coloring in small spaces can be easily achieved by gently stippling or dotting the color in the space rather than continuous line scribbling to fill-in color. This works best if the tips of your markers are squished and not so pointed any more.

This method makes a sturdy bracelet.

Done!
