Totally Tubular Bracelets

These Spring school holidays, Maxine from Blaxland Library and I taught some ‘Totally Tubular’ classes - making jewellery and decorations using clear vinyl tubing. The results are stunning and they were great fun to make!

We offered several projects during each class -
*Wrapping textured and coloured wool around tubing to create bracelets and hangings (linked like paper chains)
*Filling tubes with fabric, seed beads, glitter and sequins (with or without adding baby oil for a floaty effect)
*Pouring glow paint and glitter into the tubing    

Each bracelet was sealed using waterproof superglue (only adults could do this step!) on a piece of wood dowel, which fit snugly in the two ends of tubing.
