Summer Fun with Crafty Bands

It’s summer and although I’ve planned some great activities for my kiddos, there’s times when they’re just nothing to do (or so they say). So to keep my daughter from getting bored, I busted out the Crafty bands kit from Epiphany Crafts and had her make some friendship bracelets for her and three of her dear friends.

I showed her how to punch out the paper and add the bubble accent to the charms. After a couple of tries with my help, she went to town with it and created these four bracelets.

I love how easy this project was. My 7 year old did pretty much everything by herself. The only thing that I had to help her with is snapping the charms together on the bands.

This will be a great craft for summer or for when you have slumber parties. I definitely recommend the Epiphany Crafts Crafty Bands for the budding crafters out there.

Supplies Used: Crafty Bands starter kit Pattern Paper Adhesive dots

Happy Creating,

Make a Flowery Crafty Bands Bracelet

Hi! I'm Alison, daughter of Kate Vickers
, a scrapbooker, crafter and recent Guest Designer at Epiphany Crafts. I'm 8 years old and I live in Ontario, Canada. I'm happy to be a Guest Designer at Crafty Bands today! I want to show you how to make this flower bracelet.




You will need:

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

Crafty Bands punch

(included in the Starter Kit)

5 Bubble Caps

5 Crafty Snaps

Adhesive - We used Helmar Premium Craft Glue

Scrapbooking paper - We used 'Pretty Parkway' from the 5th & Frolic Collection by American Crafts

How to Make Your Bracelet
1. Remove the flowers from the stems and remove the plastic centres. You will need 10 flowers, 2 for each Crafty Snap.


2. Take the scrapbooking paper and put it into the Crafty Bands punch. Line up your paper inside to show the image that you would like to punch out.


3. Put the Bubble Cap inside the punch and press down firmly until you hear a click. The Bubble Cap will be attached to your punched out image. Remove it from the punch.


4. Glue the Bubble Cap onto the top of the Crafty Snap.


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


6. Add the Crafty Snap top onto the flower, lining up the bottom and top of the Crafty Snap. Press down to attach them. You should hear a click.


7. Repeat steps 1 to 6 for the remaining holes on the bracelet. Your finished bracelet should look something like this.


Enjoy your new flower bracelet! Thanks for having me today.
