Lay out a starburst wrapper and make sure it is entirely unfolded and isn't torn. A huge tip is to carefully unwrap starbursts when eating them and collecting wrappers.

Fold it in half again. Easy peesy lemon squeezy, eh? Another tip is when you're folding, decide if you want more white to show or less. It depends on what you prefer but the outside is what shows.

This is a picture of the side you DO NOT want to have to work "through". It is very crucial, unless you enjoy wasting time trying to pick it through, that when you put pieces in, this side be up.

So here I have started a bracelet and all you have to do is take a folded piece and stick it through. Make sure you have the opening side down. (Down would be toward the rest of your bracelet).

Step 12 of 15
See how it's at the top? Good job! Now keep doing that until you reach 34. Also, on a sidenote, I didn't include the start because it's so simple. Just make sure ALL of your pieces are folded tightly.

If you don't understand, check out youtube. That's where I learned but I kind of taught this method to myself.

For a better explanation, you are basically going to wrap the bracelet around and then take the flaps and insert them around the first piece. You want to go up and over the first piece because then it will look like the bracelet is continuing. What I like to do is take one flap and instead of just putting it on the one side it is, I bring it over to the other side. For both flaps though, you want to tuck them back into their own side. Like I said, this isn't easy, but don't let that discourage you. Personally, I think it is worth this extra effort because it is then less likely to break on you and you can stretch it out a little more.

Note: try not to stretch out the bracelet too much or else the folds will start to come undone. I suggest that after any time of stretching it, squish it back a little so its smaller and more compact.
