You Will Need (7 things)

  • Cardboard tube
  • Elastic
  • Staples
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Feathers
  • Scissors
  • Old Jewelry (Optional)

Steps (9 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut a small portion off the top of your cardboard tube. You can use your elastic as a guide of how thick to make it.

  2. 2

    Your cardboard tube should look like this.

  3. 3

    Cut off about 2-3 inches of elastic.

  4. 4

    Using a stapler, secure the elastic to the ends of your cardboard tube. Make sure the sharp part of the staples are on the outside. (This is very important because if the staples are on the inside, they risk snagging your skin. That's a no-go!)

  5. 5

    Start placing your glue at the end of your bracelet. That way you work your way around and all the ends of the feathers will overlap one another.

  6. 6

    Carefully lay your feather over the new line of hot glue. It's very hot so be cautious when holding it in place.

  7. 7

    Overlap your hot glue over the last feather and also on the bracelet. Place another feather. Work your way around your bracelet until you get to the end.

  8. 8

    Trim any glue strings and sharp feather pieces and voila! A complete feather bracelet.

  9. 9

    OPTIONAL: Use an old piece of jewelry and hot glue it to the center of the bracelet. It adds an extra element to the whole piece.
