This is one of a gazillion things you can do with empty toilet rolls. Gracie and I made these when she was home from school ill one day - obviously not too ill. We had such fun I wanted her to play hooky after that. It doesn't have to be too girlie though, Tristan's "wicked" cuff turned out great too - although it was quickly replaced by his Green Day wrist band, little rocker that he is.

I am relatively new over at whip up - to subscribe and look often. The bracelet idea it great - wonderful for a sleep-over idea for my 7-year-old or for a rainy day:) We've been having too many to count lately - great idea! Thank you for the tutorial!

Glad you like it. They really are good fun to make. I 've also done them with felt then we glued on felt flowers and buttons - they are even easier! CLick here for a look at the felt bracelets.

I made a version of these for my son who is three. We've been watching a "Surfer dude" Scooby Doo and he wanted an upper arm tattoo...so with a black sharpie I made him a tattoo on the tube which he then wore on his bicep. Adorable if I don't say so myself! :)

Fantastic!
I try to hide the sharpies because my daughter makes her own tattoos directly on her arm - she finds them anyway ;)
