Potato Chip Bag Bracelet

Supplies:


  • Full size potato chip bag (reg size not family size)
  • Scissors 
  • Elastic cord about 6" worth
  • Hole puncher
  • 2 cookie sheet pans
Place bag in cookie sheets:

Preheat you oven to 350 degrees. Place an empty potato chip bag on a greased cookie sheet and place another cookie sheet on top.

Place the pans into the oven and wait between 3-4 minutes. Check on your bag every minute or so to see how its doing. If it starts to crackle to much then its time to take it out. Never put a bag in the oven without closing it in the cookie sheets. For more of a crackle effect cook the bag a little longer checking it often.

When its finished wear oven mitts to take out of the oven. Remove the top pan. Run cold water over the potato chip bag on the pan to make sure it won't stick to the bottom. 

Now we trip the bag.

Trim the bag:

You should be left with a nice thick piece of plastic that looks like a mini version of your chip bag. In the oven the bag may have burnt or splintered on the edges. Trim this kind of excess off the sides of the shrunken bag.

Now you can punch hole in it for the strap.

Punch holes for straps:

Use you hole puncher to make holes in each corner of the bag. Thread your length of elastic cord in the holes, crossing in the middle. Adjust how much elastic you will need for the bracelet to fit. Tie off the elastic and cut off any extra.
