leather wrist bands (optional)

Instructions:
To make leather wrist bands you need two pieces of leather, 6 inches long and wide enough to go around your wrist and still have room to fold the edges down and super glue them. Remember your arm gets wider the higher up your bands go and cut the leather to do the same. After glueing the edges over so they won't tear out, punch holes evenly down both sides and lace up with leather cord or ribbon.
Other information to consider:
Girls, don't over-do the make-up. Use light browns and neutral colors. Wear your hair down or pulled back on the sides. Only wear it natural; not a lot of hair spray.
