For the manufacture of such crafts, it is advisable to prepare thick, durable and moisture-proof paper. If these conditions are met, you can make a bracelet that will last much longer. For modeling, special flower paper, kraft paper, sheets from glossy magazines are suitable. The size of one modular component for a bracelet should be 15x2 cm.And you can also use paper strips 10x1.2 and 20x2.4 cm.

Let's consider what stages the correct origami making in the form of a bracelet consists of.

• First you need to cut 20 paper strips of the above size. Next, you need to take one such strip and place it in front of you with the long side.

• The part must be divided in half by folding. Then it is opened.

• Each of the halves must be folded in half, as in the basic "door" shape.

• Wrinkles need to be smoothed out well. Each action should be as accurate as possible.

• Now there will be one modular component in stock, from which the product will be further folded. All other details will need to be modeled in the same way.

• It is recommended to use 2 different shades that contrast with each other. Then the product will turn out to be more original and bright. For example, it could be using pink and yellow colors.

• We need to take a couple of different modules. One should be held in the left hand, with the eyelet side up. The second module must be held in the right hand at an angle of 90 degrees.

• Now one paper module needs to be inserted into another.

• The result will be the starting detail of the future origami bracelet.

• Next, you need to take the double module in your left hand. It should be held so that the pink part is vertical and the yellow part is horizontal.

• The third modular component is inserted. It is set in pink parallel to the yellow element in the opposite direction. At this point, the block will be done.

• It is necessary to further collect the bracelet until it becomes free to fit the hand. As soon as the turn of the last part comes, it will need to be opened in the form of the letter "M".

• After that, both ends of the craft must be assembled into a single structure.

• These components are placed in the hinges of the penultimate modular element, and then pulled "all the way".

• Next, the other end of the bracelet is taken. You will need to open the loops at the part at the edge. You will need to insert free M-type tips into them. They should be connected through an open loop.

• Now you need to bend the tips in the direction of different sides. Then they are tightened securely.

• The protruding fragments of the connecting component are placed in the inner part of the loops, securely holding the origami bracelet.
