SLAP BRACELETS!

Slap bracelets, also referred to as snap bracelets and slap wraps, were one of the hottest accessories of the 1980's. They were the thing that everyone wanted, even guys! Their eye popping color become the attention to many young stylist's, and soon people started wearing them without even noticing the huge effect that was going on.
Everybody seemed to love the 'snap' sound that they would make when brought to their wrists...many would also have many other uses as well like chocker necklaces and mini swords (lil' kidddds). Many stores seemed to have noticed the popularity the bracelets were getting, so they started making some themselves to sell for a profit. Now in the 2000's they still seemed to be a big hit. Not only the stores sold them, but kids would start selliing them, in small waas like a trade for something.
Kids would bring them everywhere, and get into some trouble with them like pocking eyes out and stuff, adn you can guess the teachers didn't like that. So the in style slap bracelets were band from many schools, and that stopped some of the growth of them. The rest of the down groth of these accessories was simple because of the change of style. They had just become too simple to people and the hipp slap bracelets are hardly ever seen anywhere.
