HOWTO make Wonder Woman bracelets out of toilet paper rolls

Here’s a great tutorial for making your own glittery superhero paper bracelets out of toilet-paper rolls. The trick is to use blue painter’s tape backing to keep the cardboard intact while it’s all gluey.

This may seem like a strange way of doing things – to cut and then stick back together etc – but we went through a couple of versions of this before the toilet roll pieces survived – when you paint the toilet roll it tends to collapse go floppy. This was the best process we came up with.

After you have cut, taped and stuffed your toilet roll you are ready to:
– paint (allow to dry)
– apply a light layer of glue and then roll in glitter (allow to dry)
– seal on the glitter by applying a layer of gluey glaze (1 part glue to 2 parts water) (allow to dry)
– add some super hero gems/sparkles

Once all your paint, glitter and glue is dry remove the newspaper and painters tape from inside and round of the corners.
