There's nothing tame about these fun and funky jungle-print wristbands.

Materials

• Cardboard tubes
• Stapler
• Black elastic
• Tacky glue

• Animal-print felt
• Ribbon
• Card stock

Instructions

1. Cut cardboard tubes into 2-inch lengths. Snip each so that it opens into a cuff shape.

2. Using a stapler, attach the ends of a 3 1/2-inch piece of 1/4-inch-wide black elastic as shown; make sure the staple points are facing outward.

3. Apply tacky glue to the outside of the cuff and cover the cuff and the elastic ends with a 2- by 6-inch strip of
   animal-print felt.

4. Let the glue dry, then trim the felt as needed.

5. Use a ribbon to tie on a note cut from card stock.
