Cut a paper circle out of colored paper and draw the numbers, from 1 to 12, around the clock. Draw the handles or cut pieces of paper in the shape of handles and glue them. Glue the circle into the bracelet.
Experiment with the outline of the blacelet.
With scissors cut the long edges of the cardboard like waves. You can then decorate the blacelet with glitter or gems.
