The Starburst Wrapper bracelet
I thought it was going to be really tricky turns out it's really easy until you get till the last one. (Take them off if washing the pots/getting a shower/bath or doing anything that involves water...Mines slightly destroyed so going to make a new one)
I used http://www.fluffyland.com/ to find out how...
Step 1
Take your first wrapper… and flip it over.
I know, it’s tricky.

Fold (hot dog) one side in to the halfway point.

Step 3
Fold (hot dog) the other side to the halfway point.
Fold (hot dog) the other side to the halfway point.
Step 4
Next, fold (hot dog) the whole thing in half so the raw edges you just folded are on the inside crease.

Step 8
Fold (hamburger) the other side to the halfway point. Steps 1-8 give 1 completed link.
Repeat steps 1-8 with the next wrapper.

Step 9
Insert points 1 and 2 into slots A and B, so it looks like this:

Step 11
Continue making links (steps 1-8) and adding them on (steps 9 & 10)…

Step 13
Once you have reached the desired length… this is where it gets tricky.

Step 14
Make one more link the same way as the others (steps 1-8), but then unfold the last two folds. Insert these raw edges into the same spots in the “V”.

Step 15
Pull the two ends of the bracelet close together, and hold the edges of your long “V” over both edges of the end of the other side.

Step 16
Insert the raw edges into the first wrapper. You’re doing the same thing we’ve been doing, but backwards. That’s the easiest way to think about it. It’s hard to photograph and explain, but if you’re making it look like all the other links, you’re doing it right.

Step 17
Pull ends through until you reach the original folded point, and tuck the raw edges into the previous wrapper, so it looks just like the other wrappers in the chain.
tip! At this point, I find it helpful to use a paperclip or similar item to push the wrappers through. This is the trickiest part, and will require a bit of fiddling.
