Measure one piece of duct tape long enough to fit your wrist. An easy way to measure, is to wrap the non-sticky side around your wrist and cut it after about an inch (2.5cm).
- Cut the length, with a little overlap in case. The length should be adequate to allow you to slip the bracelet on and off.

Fold this length of duct tape in half.
It should be the same length as the first piece, only in a different color or pattern. Cut the length as before.
Carefully stick them together (either use double sided tape or glue). Use up any extra length at the end to ensure the perfect fit. Trim any edges.
Velcro™ spots are ideal for easy removal and doing up. All done!

Tips

If you use transparent duct tape, you can insert small images or decorations inside the tape before folding it over. This can make the bracelet unique to the wearer and could include such items as letters to spell a name or word, tiny images, buttons, lace pieces, flat costume gems, glitter, etc.
