You'll Need: 

McDonald’s packaging drinking straw rubber band glue scissors

 

1. Cut out a long strip of paper from the colorful graphic print on a McDonald’s bag or wrapping.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Place glue on the side of the paper you don’t want to see and carefully wrap it along a straw. Tuck and cut where necessary, until the paper is securely glued to the straw.

 

 

3. Cut the straw into smaller cylinders. These are your beads.

 

 

 

4. Cut the rubber band, and string the beads on it.

 

 

 

5. Tie the rubber band back into a knot and place on your friend’s wrist with love.
