• For this week’s craft, make a bracelet out of plastic bags. Here’s an example I found online:
• 

Impress your family and friends with a stylish new bracelet made entirely out of the grocery bag you just carried your food in. Cut out three strips equal in size and tie them in a knot. From there, braid the strips. Once braided, tie the ends together and cut off the extra plastic. Voila! (credit: https://www.budgetdumpster.com/blog/5-recycled-plastic-bag-projects/)

• If you know how to crochet, watch Isatou’s how-to video to learn how to make your own purse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zZw7yrI22M.

As always, if you want to show off your craft, you can email a picture to me at diana.kestner@onslow.k12.nc.us and I'll add it to my Student Work page! 

Enjoy your week, get some exercise, and stay safe! I miss you all. 

Love, Mrs. Kestner
