DIY crafts: wood slice bracelet for besties

A wood slice bracelet is a perfect way to tell your bestie that you love them and share a secret message that nobody knows about.

That secret message sits on your wrist, so no one would ever know it’s there! Best friends like secret messages.

Of course it doesn’t have to be made for friends, this gift would also be perfect for mothers on Mother’s Day, Grand parents and even teachers.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Thick branch
• Saw
• Drill with a thin drill bit
• Sand paper
• Sharpie pens
• String

How to make your wood slice bracelet

I’ve added a collage of DIY images to show you just how easy it is.

1. Collect the thick branch. Put it in between a clamp and saw off a thin slice of wood.

2. Sand the two pieces of wood so they are nice an smooth. We don’t want any splinters, do we!

3. Drill two holes on opposite sides of the wood slice. We used a 3mm drill bit.

4.  Give the holes a little sanding too.

5. Decorate your piece of wood with the sharpies. Don’t forget to add a secret message to the back!

6. Tie the string through the holes and then you’re done!

Here’s some ideas to add to the back of your wood slice bracelet:

• An I love you
• Write something nice about the person
• A code to make it even more secret
• Quotes or a short poem
• A beautiful drawing of the person
• Stick on a mini envelope so that messages can be exchanged and stored.
