Here is another great way to use your junk mail, scrap paper or that wrapping paper you saved.

Difficulty level: Beginners

Instructions:

Materials:
Junk mail, scrap paper or wrapping paper
Paper glue stick
White glue
Scissor
Wooden skewer or similar object
Toilet paper roll or thin cardboard

Cut the paper into equal sizes.
The thin wrapping paper used in this guide was 7” X 12”.
Different paper thickness and sizes will result in different effects.

Put the paper face down.
Place the skewer at a point of the paper
Roll up the paper on the skewer

Put glue on the tip before you finish rolling it up.

Flatten the rolled paper

Make a small fold one the edge.

Roll the paper around the fold. Squeeze it tightly and put glue now and again to keep it in place

Glue the end down.
Squeeze the roll at the sides to hold it in place for a few seconds while the glue dries.

Result

Press a toilet paper roll flat and cut a slice about ¾ the height of the rolled paper you just made.
Cut 1 slice for a napkin ring or 2 slices for a bracelet

Cut the slices open

If you are making a napkin ring glue the ends of one slice together
If you are making a bracelet glue 2 together to make a ring big enough to slide over your hand.

Open one side and flatten the ring
Do not use glue. Align the rolled papers on the cardboard just to see how many you need to make

Cut strips of paper

Glue the ring closed.
Glue the edge of a face up strip to the inside of the ring.

Apply glue to the paper strip and wrap it around the cardboard ring.
Add strips as needed to cover all of it.

Result

Apply a generous amount of paper glue to the bottom of the rolled paper.
Place it on the ring and hold it down a few seconds until it dries.
White glue takes too long and it will slide out of place.
If you use hot glue that dries instantly skip the next step.

When you have added all the rolls squeeze white glue under them to make sure they stay in place.

When the glue has dried your bracelet or napkin ring is finished!
