Upcycle outgrown bangles: Ribbon ornament

We bought few Holiday crafts ribbon from the Dollar aisle of Target(One more interesting find). The ribbons are perfect for simple wrapping and weaving fun. I was inspired by the yarn bracelet ornaments on creative Jewish mom blog. CJ had lots of fun wrapping the ribbon around the bangles. Perfect activity to keep the little hands busy while boosting fine motor skills.

Materials Used:

Holiday crafts Ribbon(Dollar aisle of target)

Outgrown, Unwearable Bangles
Cellophane tape/glue/staple

Steps Overview:

1. Glue/tape free end of ribbon around the bangle
2. Start wrapping across the bangle
3. Keep wrapping until you reach the free end of ribbon. Tape the free end to the bangle.

Add a ornament hanger and hang it on the tree!



I felt the ribbon bangles looked cool as a ornament! But CJ wanted to play a game with it. She said "Mommy I made three of them, one for Daddy, one for you and one for me, so that we can play a game". The game was to place the ribbon bangles on ground, Stand on a start line, say ready set start and race to pick up the bangles. The person who picks up their bangle first is the winner. We played the game, it was fun too!
