"You're Special" Valentine's Bracelets

Surprise your Valentine with a pretty handmade bracelet to show your love

By Jacqueline Nunes

Ages:

3 and up

Supplies:

• Beads of various colours and shapes. (Kids can pick beads by colour or theme for an added personal touch)
• String or yarn

Directions:

1. Lay out an assortment of beads in various colours and shapes.
2. Cut a piece of string or yarn (that will fit nicely on your wrist) and tie a knot at one end.
3. Choose beads to create your bracelet. (Tip: Make the bracelet in the recipient’s favourite colours or use alphabet beads to spell out their name.)
4. After stringing the bracelet, tie a knot at the other end of the string. Be sure to leave enough string at each end to tie around the wrist.

Tips
• Younger children may find it easier to use thick pieces of yarn and pasta shells, instead of beads and string.
