Bright Flower Snap Bands

Oh snap! You’ll be the absolute king or queen of fashion with these bright and beautiful Flower Snap Bands! Experiment with colour combinations and patterns to create a variety of fun, fashion forward designs that are perfect for gifting to someone special.
  • Step 1Plan out a design for your snap band on some scrap paper. Think about the different patterns and colour combinations you could use.
  • Step 2Once you are happy with your design, transfer it onto the snap band. You can either use a pencil to lightly sketch the design first, or go straight in with colour. Be sure to decorate the concave side of the snap band so the design displays outwards when worn. We have used paint markers to colour our snap bands, but you could also use permanent markers. Allow to dry for 24 hours before using your snap band.
  • Step 3Take a chenille stem and wrap it around your index finger, leaving about 3cm at each end.
  • Step 4Carefully wiggle the chenille stem off your finger. Thread each end through the middle of the loops and out the opposite side. Twist both ends together to hold the loops in place.
  • Step 5Flatten and fan out the loops of the chenille stem to create the petals of the flower. Trim any excess chenille stem that may be on the reverse side. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
  • Step 6Take a contrasting colour of chenille stem and coil it tightly to create a round flat disc. Make it big enough to create a centre for your chenille stem flower then trim the excess. Use tacky glue to attach it to the middle of the flower. Allow to dry.
  • Step 7Making sure your snap band is unravelled and flat on the desk, use tacky glue to fix the flower in place in the middle of the snap band. Use a decent amount of glue to ensure it will hold in place. Allow to dry.
  • Step 8Your Bright Flower Snap Band is now ready to wear or gift!
