Instructions 

  • Let’s start by cutting narrow strips out of our construction paper.
    Use your ruler and pencil to make lines on your paper. They should be 9” long and .4” wide.
  • Make your first star by taking a strip and holding one of the ends of it as shown.
  • Make a loop by taking the end of the strip and placing it across the top.
  • Then, pull the end through the loop.
  • To tie it, pull it tightly but gently on both ends so that it is secure. The right end should be about 1 cm long.
  • Flatten the looped part down and make some creases as shown.
  • Fold the short end in so that it forms a pentagon-like shape.
  • Now, take your long end and start wrapping it around your pentagon shape. To start, wrap it around one time.
  • Make sure that the part of the strip that you are wrapping is neatly aligned with the pentagon’s edge.
  • Make sure that everything looks neat before wrapping it around again.
  • Continue wrapping the long end around and around.
  • Eventually, you will have a small and neat pentagon shape.
  • Hide the loose end by tucking it underneath in the open part of the pentagon shape as shown.
  • Use your thumb and index finger to make the points of the stars. Pinch the ends of the pentagon into points and push each side of your pentagon in gently.
  • Keep doing this all around your pentagon.
  • Soon, you will have a star shape.
  • Repeat the above steps to make stars from all your strips.
  • Once you have enough stars, assemble your bracelet. Start by threading the needle with the cord and adding a star.
  • Let the needle go through the entire star on both sides so that it stays firmly on the cord.
  • Continue adding your stars.
  • Once you have added all your stars, check that the bracelet fits before you cut and tie the cord.
  • Finally, tie it tightly with two knots and cut off any excess cord. Your beautiful bracelet is ready!
