Fall Fun: Canning Lid Wrapped Bracelet

Re-use a canning lid (perfect for a small wrist!), using this popular trend.

Materials

• Canning lid (the ring portion)
• Embroidery floss
• Beads
• Needle
• Threader (optional)

Directions

• Knot your embroidery floss on the inside of the canning lid ring.

• Wrap the embroidery floss around tightly.  (You could also use yarn for smaller children.)

• To change colours: either securely knot the next colour to the last or knot the last colour to the ring and then knot the next colour around the ring.

• If you want to add beads, thread your needle to make this easier.

• One tip is to be sure to push your wrapped floss together as you move onto the next colour, making sure your floss circles are snug beside each other.

• Knot the end on the inside of the ring.

• Give it to a friend, classmate or sibling to enjoy!

Purpose

• Re-using materials
• Fine motor skills
• Thinking of others

Safety Notes

• Exercise caution when using a needle.
• Thread or yarn can be a strangulation hazard.  Use with direct supervision.
• Be sure to keep beads away from children 0-3 or those who tend to put things in their mouths.
