My girls love anything and everything princess...lots of dresses, shoes, lip gloss, dancing, magic wands, purses, glittery gloves, hair pretties.....but, we were lacking one important thing! Princess streamers! A princess must have her very own flowing streamer to dance around with, you know. Emma's dance class this year had something similar, and when I saw these cute heart shaped bangle bracelets, I knew exactly what to do with them. Here's how we did it....
You'll need one bangle bracelet per child and a variety of ribbons to tie onto the bangle. After I purchased these fairly inexpensive ribbons, I thought about regular gift wrapping ribbon....it would probably be a cheaper alternative and you could curl the ends a little. But, any ribbon should do just fine.
Just select which ribbon to start with and cut it to your preferred length...enough so that it streams easily, but not so long as to trip your little ones. Tie them onto the bangle and then once more to ensure that it is in a knot and will stay put.
Continue cutting varying lengths of ribbon and tying them in place....this is so easy for even the smallest kids to do themselves.
Once you have your desired amount of ribbon tied onto the bangle, you're all done! How easy is that?! And, how fun and easy this craft would be for a princess party, tea party, sleepovers, or just a lazy summer afternoon with nothing better to do than pretend to be a princess.
We know you'll have so much fun with these!
ENJOY, Friends!!

These are soooo cute! I love the way you used those heart bracelets -- I think I have some of those around here somewhere. Can't wait to make these -- what great practice for tying knots, too! :)

What a fabulous idea! I wish I had known about that when Girlkiddo was younger.
