Supplies:
- 5-7 different colors of metallic thread, 24 inches long each
- scissors
- tape
- ruler or measuring tape
Activity Steps:
- Tie all the strands together with a knot about 2 inches from near the top of the strands.
- Separate the colors so you have one set of colors on the left and one on the right. Make sure the color pattern mirrors itself on both sides.
- Starting on the outside, bring the two outer pieces of thread (should be the same color) to the middle and cross them. Continue doing the crossing until the color you started with is on the outside again. Pull the threads tight so they look like a fishtail braid.
- Continue braiding pieces to the front until you are near the end of the threads. Tie the two sides together to close the braid. Then tie the two ends together to complete the bracelet.
