Pom-pom bracelet
The round shape is so cute! Here are some ideas for pom-pom bracelets.
These bracelets can also help children tell left from right during dance routines.
This time, let’s make pom-pom bracelets using fun, colorful materials! You’ll need ring-shaped bases, decorative pom-poms, beads, masking tape, and a needle and thread.
In the video, a firm base material is used, but felt or hair ties would likely work as substitutes.
Try customizing it as you like while you make it.
Artificial flower bracelet
Let’s make a wrist corsage using an empty plastic bottle and artificial flowers you can buy at a 100-yen shop! First, cut out the base for the wrist corsage from the plastic bottle.
Be careful to trim off any sharp edges to avoid injury.
Protecting the edges with masking tape or sealing them with an iron will make it even safer.
Once the base is ready, simply cut off just the flower parts of the artificial flowers and attach them with a glue gun.
It’s very easy, so give it a try! Besides artificial flowers, you can also use leaves or pipe cleaners and try various arrangements.
Origami Twisty Bracelet
https://www.tiktok.com/@miraidesuuu/video/7395497878375943442The twirly bracelet made from origami is a fun item that brings out elegance from everyday materials.
Cut origami paper into long, thin strips, roll them up tightly, and glue the ends to make lots of small loops.
Connect the loops together to create a bracelet that fits perfectly around your wrist.
Add a star, heart, or other charm to the center for a more special finish.
Depending on your color combinations, it can look pop and playful or calm and refined, letting you coordinate with your outfit.
The light weight and vivid colors unique to origami are appealing, and it won’t get in the way during physical activity.
Incorporating theme colors for events can also help build a sense of unity and team spirit.
Preparation is simple, making it a great activity for large groups.
Ribbon bracelet
A ribbon bracelet that combines glamour and elegance to brighten up sports day.
Cut the ribbon to fit your wrist and tie the ends neatly.
Adding a pearl or a small charm at the center gives it a special touch.
Adjust the loop so it fits snugly around the wrist, and finish it so the knot serves as an accent.
Choosing colors that match the team colors or coordinate with the outfit enhances overall cohesion and adds flair to cheering movements.
The soft, skin-friendly material makes it comfortable for long wear.
As a memorable sports day item, it’s easy to make yet creates a striking decoration.
Fluffy Bracelet
A bracelet made with fluffy material balls is a decorative item that soothes both to look at and to touch.
Make small holes in the fluffy pom-pom balls and thread elastic cord through them.
Arranging the balls in random sizes and colors creates a colorful, dimensional design.
Once all the parts are threaded, tie the ends together and secure it to fit your wrist to finish.
The fluffy decorations swaying on your wrist will catch the eye and naturally add energy to your cheering motions.
When everyone’s wrists match in bright colors, it lifts the overall mood and excitement of the entire sports day.
princess
When it comes to what girls dream of forever, it has to be princesses.
To be honest, even the adults making the costumes probably get excited about princess outfits too (lol).
Fluffy tulle, frilly lace, and sparkly bijoux are key elements of a princess costume.
If you choose them to match your child’s favorite colors, I think it will turn into a wonderful outfit.
As for tiaras and such, store-bought ones should work just fine.
wolf
Costumes of wolves, which often appear as motifs in stories and dances, can be expressed well with just fluffy ears and a fluffy tail like these.
Whether for a girl or a boy, having ears and a tail can make for a cute—and sometimes cool—transformation.
If you go to a craft store, you can find fluffy materials that look like animal fur.
There are many colors to choose from, so a cool wolf might suit a dark brown.
Try making the ears using a headband as the base.
