Make your child's craft time Earth-friendly with Alex M&M's Candy Wrapper Jewelry. Alex has partnered with Terracycle to create this fun jewelry activity, which repurposes unused M&M's candy wrappers that would otherwise end up in landfills. Make bracelets, headbands, and belts with a simple linking pattern. Help the planet and make a fashion statement, too!
Personalize Your Design with Different Materials
Candy Wrapper Jewelry uses upcycled M&M's candy wrappers and a simple adhesive and folding pattern to create bracelets, headbands, and belts of varying sizes and designs. Upcycling means finding a new use for a material that would otherwise end up in the trash, and Alex's partnership with Terracycle has made sure that your child is able to take part in that process!
This kit includes over 200 pre-cut, shiny, multicolored M&M's wrappers to give your child's creations some extra flair. Kids can use their imaginations to choose different color combinations and patterns, tie projects together with a suede cord or elastic band, and finish with a bead of their choice.
Fold and Link to Create Your Look
The included assembly instructions make jewelry crafting simple with both visual and written instructions for a thorough description. The pattern includes five steps of wrapper folding per link, and it isn't long before the links begin to form a glossy, sturdy chain. Our testers enjoyed using the glue stick cap as a burnishing tool, but keep an eye on the exposed glue stick, or it will dry out!
Develop Crafting Skill and Sense of Style
While the folding and linking process is fairly straightforward, the repetition of each step and extra details, like burnishing, helps your child to refine his or her crafting skills. These are skills that remain for a lifetime, helping with future crafting projects and problem-solving activities.
