Big Bangle, Hamster Tube, Pencil Jar

  • Completed Project: Big Bangle, Hamster Tube, Pencil Jar Picture #1
  • Completed Project: Big Bangle, Hamster Tube, Pencil Jar Picture #2
  • Completed Project: Big Bangle, Hamster Tube, Pencil Jar Picture #3

3 projects made from about 20 thin bangles
 <  Image 1 of 3  > 

From about 20 bangles you can make a larger colorful bangle, a tube toy for a small animal (hamster), or a pencil jar. If anyone manages to put their pet rodent in it, PLEASE take a picture. I wasn't able to get Alex The Hamster in it.

  1. Step 1

    Step 1

    Put glue on one bangle and stick it to another bangle.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2

    After you glue 2 or 3 together you have the first project done: A BIGGER BANGLE! (make sure you wait til it dries until you wear it; I got glue on me :P)

    If you choose to make the small animal tube toy or the jar continue reading.


  3. Step 3

    Step 3

    Repeat Step 1 until all your bangles are glued together. If you stop now, you have the second project done: The small animal tube toy done. Wait til it dries until you put your pet hamster, rat or mouse in it. (My hamster wasn't awake when I finished this I and I didn't feel like waiting for him).

    Continue if you want to make the jar.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    On the cardboard, trace your tube structure with the pen or pencil, then cut the circle out.


  5. Step 5

    Step 5

    This will be the bottom of your jar, so decorate it how ever you want. You can see, I didn't do anything special with mine.

  6. Step 6

    Step 6

    Glue the cardboard circle to the rest of your glued-together bangles. Wait until it dries, then put some pens, scissors, or whatever in your new jar.

    ENJOY!

i like the idea, but i wouldnt put it with rodents, since they continuously chew and many glues tend to be toxic to small animals.
