Art and CraftspicThis week for our Art and Crafts segment here at Life of Dad we are making some cool and unique bracelets using the new fashion kits from Strand Bands. This summer these kits will be hitting stores. The stretchy-soft Strand Bands make it simple and fun to braid, weave, bead or fringe stylish one-of-a-kind accessories that can be taken on and off with ease. Strand Bands are made from a unique peel-apart material that lets kids control the thickness of their designs and create endless colorful and mixable styles. My daughters put their bracelets on as soon as we were done making them.
