How to Make an
Earth Day Bracelet
To make your bracelet, you will need the following supplies:
• A pipe cleaner
• Colored beads (1-3 beads of each color)
STEPS
1. Take your pipe cleaner and form a small loop at one end.
2. Add your colored beads, which each represent something on the Earth. Make a pattern or add them randomly.
3. Take the end of the pipe cleaner and put it through the loop you formed in step 1, and twist it shut.
ENJOY YOUR BRACELET!
