Making your own jewelry can be so much fun, especially when you’re able to personalize something simple with just a few craft supplies. These DIY wooden bracelets are fun to make and if you’re looking for decoupage ideas these are a fun craft with a lot of possibilities. I love how these turned out, and if you’re looking for wood craft ideas these bracelets are a lot of fun. There are so many different patterns you could create, but I think a confetti inspired one would be amazing.

1

Tear your pieces of tissue paper so that they will have an uneven edge. If you’re going to create a watermelon design like I did, use your single hole punch to make little black dots.

Coat a section of your bracelet with a thick layer of Mod Podge®. Gently press your first piece of tissue paper and smooth it out. Be careful or it will tear.

Once you’ve finished decoupaging pieces of green tissue paper, layer some pink tissue paper on top. Follow the same steps as above until your whole bracelet is covered in tissue paper. Coat everything in a thin layer of Mod Podge®.
