DLTK's Holiday Activities
China Red and Yellow Bracelet

Materials:

• tape,
• glue,
• red and yellow paper

Instructions:

• Cut strips of paper that are 2 inches wide (thinner if you want a daintier bracelet) and 11 inches long (don't be too finicky about the measurements... just "ish" it).  You'll need  4 red strips and 4 yellow strips.
• Now tape all the yellow strips together end to end (so you have one LONG yellow strip) and all the red strips together end to end (so you have one LONG red strip).
• Fold the strips (place them like an L and then fold over each other in an alternating pattern...  See diagram below...  Solid colours are the front and slashed colours the back of the paper)

• When you run out of paper, trim ends as necessary and tape so it doesn't unravel.
• Roll into a circle and tape to form a bracelet (see photo for how it looks).
