Twirl and Swirl with Rainbow Ribbon Dancers
By Maureen Macmillan, Twig and Toadstool
May 4, 2015
Rainbow ribbon dancers are a cheap and quick craft for springtime fun! We made six of these for $4 — they'd make a great party craft.
What You'll Need:
- ribbon (in a rainbow of colours)
- bracelets (the dollar store is a great place for these)
- scissors
Directions:
1. Cut the ribbon into pieces about twice the length of your arm.

2. Fold the ribbon in half. Put the bracelet on top and loop the ribbon over the top of the folded ribbon, then pull the ribbon through the loop and pull it tight. You could add a dab of glue for extra durability, if you desire.
3. Repeat with other colours of ribbon. Add as many ribbons as you'd like.
4. Repeat with other bracelets, then head outside to DANCE in the wind and spread RAINBOW joy all around!
