A few days ago, my mom, my brother, Caroline (one of the Brookline high students) and I made toothbrush bracelets. Toothbrush bracelets are bracelets made out of toothbrushes. To make bracelets from toothbrushes, you have to be very talented and strong. Caroline the exchange student had already made toothbrush bracelets and was really good at making them. Caroline was going to teach us how to do it, and she did. It takes a lot of time to make toothbrush bracelets.
How you make toothbrush bracelets is odd. First you take them out of their package (of course!). Then you take pliers and pluck the bristles out. After you are finished taking the bristles out, then you put the toothbrushes in boiling water. The reason why is because the toothbrushes will get softer and easier to bend. Next, to finish up your bracelets, you bend them. That is the hard part. For the bending, you have to be strong. Making toothbrush bracelets is really fun.
For my birthday, Caroline made me toothbrush bracelets. One day I wore them to school and all my friends liked them. So I decided I wanted to give the girls in my class bracelets. Well, because I have 60 people in my class and thirty of them are girls, I couldn’t really make 30 bracelets so I just made 12.
Making toothbrush bracelets is very exciting and fun. I had a great time and I can’t wait to make more.
