  1. Silk or fabric flowers - We got ours from Michael's


  • Crafty Bands punch
  • (included in the Starter Kit)

    5. Insert the back of the Crafty Snap into the inside of the bracelet. Add two of the flowers as shown here.

    Wintery Crafty Bands Bracelet

    It's that time!

    Time for the weather to change and soon snow days and "Mom I'm bored" can be heard in many a house.

    We've got just the solution...a Crafty Bands bracelet!



    Simply pick your favorite papers...we chose one with snowflakes and a wintery plaid print. Punch the designs out using your Shape Studio Tool.  


    Once you've punched the design, use the included adhesive squares to adhere the design onto the top of the cap.


    Then press the cap to the snap on your Crafty Band and you're ready to roll!
