Ingredients
Materials Needed
- 1 piece Cardboard or thick paper For the main structure of the cuffs
- 1 pair Scissors For cutting the cardboard
- 1 set Paint or markers For decorating the cuffs
- 1 tube Glue (hot glue gun or craft glue) To attach decorations and fasteners

- 1 piece Ruler To measure the cuffs

Instructions
Crafting Steps
- Use the ruler to measure the desired width and length for your cuffs (typically about 3 inches wide and 10 inches long). Tip: Use a pencil to mark the measurements on your cardboard or paper.
- Cut out two strips from the cardboard according to your measurements. Sensory Cue: Notice the crisp sound as you cut through the material.
- Use paints or markers to decorate your cuffs. Think of vibrant colors or your superhero's emblem. Sensory Cue: Enjoy the smooth glide of the paintbrush or marker as you create.
- Cut Velcro strips or prepare elastic bands. Attach one side of the Velcro to each end of the cuff for easy wearing.
- Embellish with stickers, glitter, or fabric scraps for added flair. Tip: Use hot glue for heavier items like embellishments.
