Stick Bracelets
Dzwiedziu has a fun idea for turning a popsicle stick into a bracelet. Simply boil in water for 15 minutes and as they cool they'll warp into a cuff bracelet shape. I imagine you need to try with a lot of popsicle sticks to get just the right fit. Then you simply decorate the stick as you see fit, she uses scrapbooking paper and glue but you could use a number of different items from paint to stickers.
Good for ages 7 and up.
