Our DIY Bracelet Kit for Kids (A Step-by-Step Guide)

Dream Away Soirée's Personalized DIY Bracelet Kits

Thanks so much for celebrating with Dream Away Soirée! If you're here, your child just received one of our DIY bracelet kits for kids, a fun and creative party activity that doubles as a keepsake. Whether it’s part of a sleepover, party favor bag, or quiet moment at home, this kit was made to be easy for kids and stress-free for parents.

What’s Inside Each Kit

• A colorful assortment of beads

• A long stretch of elastic bracelet cord

• A pre-strung personalized name (on a small temporary string)

• A backing card with our logo on one side and QR code instructions straight to this page

Note: Each kit includes more than enough beads for one bracelet so kids have plenty of options. Extra beads = extra creativity!

How to Use Your DIY Bracelet Kit for Kids

1. Set up your space

If your bracelet kit came as and add-on to our full-service sleepover, you're already set, each guest has their own party tray! If you're using a DIY kit at home, a shallow dish or dinner plate works perfectly to keep beads from rolling away, if you don't have a tray.

2. Free the name beads

The child’s name (or selected nickname or phrase) comes pre-strung on a small display cord, ready to be used in their bracelet. Carefully snip the cord to remove the beads.

They can use the name in the center of the bracelet, spread out the letters, or skip it entirely. It’s up to them!

3. Pro tip: Stop runaway beads

Here’s a trick to keep the design process frustration-free:

• Take one bead and slide it towards one end of the elastic cord.

• Tie a simple knot around that bead to hold it in place.

• Now your child can string beads on the other end without worrying about them falling off.

• Once the bracelet is finished, just untie that first bead and tie the ends of the bracelet together!

  
  

4. Start designing

Encourage children to mix and match the beads however they like. Rainbow patterns, symmetrical styles, or a surprise mix. There’s no wrong way to create!

Some kids like to count out beads ahead of time or sort by color first. Others dive right in. Let the creativity flow.

5. Check the fit and tie it off

When the bracelet looks just right, gently wrap it around the wrist to check the size. Leave a little stretch, you don't want it too tight.

Tie a strong double knot to finish it off. An adult can dab a bit of clear nail polish or glue on the knot for extra hold (totally optional!). Then trim the ends of the elastic if needed.

6. Celebrate their creation

They did it! Whether it’s worn proudly, shared with a friend, or made into a matching mini bracelet for a favorite stuffed animal, this simple little kit just became a memory.

Bonus Ideas

• Kids can pool their leftover beads to create a special surprise bracelet for the guest of honor! It’s a thoughtful, collaborative keepsake the birthday child can treasure.

• Still have some extra supplies? Siblings or favorite stuffies would likely love a bracelet too!
