Egyptian Cuff Bracelet Craft

This is so fun and easy to do with the kids. I did all the cutting and the spray painting beforehand and then let the kids do all the decorating stuff. Here is an image of what a real Egyptian Cuff Bracelet looks like.
Below is ours - Looks Pretty Legitimate! We were excited - if you want each child can make two and wear on each arm.

Things you will need:
A tall Pringles Can
Gold Spray Paint
Puffy Paint (I used the glittery kind)
Acrylic Flat Backed Jewels

With an Adult
Step One: Cut the Pringles can into 4 equal sections be careful not to collapse can while cutting. (We stuck a rolling pin in can)

Step Two: Spray Paint and let dry.

Children Can Do Alone
Step Three: Use Puffy Paint and Acrylic Backed beads to decorate. I had the children place the cuff on their wrist and paint with the other hand. The puffy paint is also a glue - use it to adhere the beads. Make lines and other things - or use some of the Egyptian hieroglyphs shown below, you could write your name.
