Fashion Slap Bracelets

A slap bracelet is a bracelet consisting of layered, flexible stainless steel bistable spring bands sealed within a fabric or plastic cover. The bracelet can be straightened out, creating tension within the springy metal bands. The straightened wristband is then slapped against the wearer's forearm, causing the bands to spring back into a curve that wraps around the wrist, securing the wristband to the wearer.

Invented by Wisconsin teacher Stuart Anders and sold under the brand name "Slap Wrap",the slap bands was a popular fad among children, pre-teens and teenagers in the late 1980s and early 1990s and was available in a wide variety of patterns and colors.
