This is a bracelet made out of paper. I usually use 30 pieces (10 each) for a small size and 36 pieces (12 each) for a big size, but experiment a bit to find your size. I usually use post it notes cut into four pieces. Lastly, I use three colors, but you can use any number, from one to every piece a different color.

It's kinda hard to explain the folds, so just follow the pictures.

Make all 30, or 36, or however many you're making.

Time to make the bracelet! Please, please use glue. Otherwise it will fall apart on your wrist :-) Divide your pieces in half. I, for example, have put 6 of each color aside. Follow the pictures to form a ring with this half.

Make a group of three. Make more until the second half is used up. Then, attach them one at a time to the ring.
