Instructions

Pour a cup of beans on paper plate.

 

Pour half a cup of rice on another plate.

 

Cut tape 9inches long or to desired length and press tape (sticky side) into beans and lift up.

 

Next, press rice into the empty spaces that you’ll see on the bracelet.  If you want more volume, put drops of glue in the empty spaces and press on the rice. \\\\\\\\

 

Shape into a bracelet, headband, necklace, or whatever you can imagine.  Leave about ½ inch free on the ends and stick together

 

You can paint the jewelry your favorite color, or a specific color depending on the occasion, they make nice gifts.
