DIY Bracelets
We have been doing a lot of beading around our house lately. The girls were ready to move beyond elastic string and knots, so I decided to create simple DIY bracelet kits with instructions for them to make the process easier.
You can find the pre-packaged kits here or do it yourself with these simple instructions... Happy jewelry making!
