Baseball Bracelet!




We decided to have a craft day today and my son found this cool website with people making bracelets and necklaces out of baseballs and basketballs! So here is our try at making these...

We went to Play it Again Sports they had baseballs on sale for a $1.00!
Then you are going to get a really sharp knife and cut out the red threads do not cut the holes or the threads! This is what you will have when you are done...

Then you trim it to fit your wrist and finish it with any kind of clasp that you want!!!
This is the finished product...


           Have fun this is a great summer craft!
