Kids are known for forgetting to give parents school flyers/ reminders so here is a diy for teachers who want the information to actually get to parents. These bracelets are not only fun colors but also customizable with a printer. Similar to a festival, concert or fair wristband, they are easy to put on and require being cut off. For this specific project, I customized the bracelets for my husband’s school for a back to school night reminder. The kids were ecstatic to get their bracelet put on because it was something new and different thus creating more of a hype to share when they got home. This project could be used for field trip groups, various events and even birthday parties. You can put anything on them! Printing is the only tricky part but if you pay close attention to the tutorial it is a piece of cake. I ruined about four sheets from simply not changing the paper size which was annoying. Remember to be patient with yourself!
Click on the link below to use the template I created to customize your own wristbands. There are ten bands per page. When printing you will need to change the paper size to custom for 7.5” x 10” and then alter the scale from 100% to 89%. Count the amount of rows before pressing print; if there are ten rows you’re good to go. The specific bracelets I purchased were from Amazon, you can see the brand in the step by step guided tutorial below.

Can you please share what type of printer you are using? My wristbands melted and jammed my printer. I’m using a Laserjet printer.

I have used two different inkjet printers and had no issues. In order to keep the paper from jamming try only loading one page in at a time. I know it is annoying but I did find it helps a lot.
