DIY duct tape bracelets

February 16, 2015 by Kate 14 Comments

Children love to make jewellery and these DIY duct tape bracelets are fun and easy. With the many different varieties of colourful tape available these days, the possibilities are endless. 

Duct tape bracelets for kids to make

Possum (aged 3 years) has started to really love jewellery. Bracelets, necklaces, rings are all the rage for her at the moment and she became very excited when I told her we would be making some wonderful duct tape bracelets, which I’d seen over on Happy Hooligans. 

Recommended age: 4 years +
(All my activities require active supervision) 

what you'll need

You will need – 

  • toilet rolls or cardboard tubing
  • scissors
  • duct tape (decorative if possible)

making wrist bands

Simply begin by cutting down the length of the toilet roll, as shown above. Add a strip of duct tape around one end of the roll and cut it off. This is great practice for children learning to use scissors and also creates an opportunity for you to talk about ways of being safe with scissors.

And it’s as simple as that!!!

Of course you can make as many different varieties as you like! You might like to also try some cuts to individualise each duct tape bracelet.

You can really be so very creative with your designs. The decorative duct tapes, which I purchased from a newsagency, that are now available make it so very easy. 
wearing simple cuff braceletsPossum really loves wearing her duct tape bracelets and keeps them in her special jewellery box. They were great fun to make and can be used in imaginative play or worn simply because. This activity is great for children who are able to cut or developing skills in cutting with scissors. 

Would your child like to make and play
with duct tape bracelets?

    Cute idea! Madame 3 will definitely be up for this, although we might need to fashion some kind of fastener to get over her chubby little hands, lol…
