I got this info at http://fluffyland.com/blog/index.php/starburst-wrapper-bracelet-tutorial/

I never tried it but i'm sure you can make bracelets like this with candy other then starbursts. Enjoy

Step 1

Take your first wrapper… and flip it over.

Step 2

Fold  one side in to the halfway point.

Step 3

Fold  the other side to the halfway point.

Step 4

Next, fold the whole thing in half so the raw edges you just folded are on the inside crease.

Step 5

Fold in half again.

Step 6

Fold in half.

Step 7

Fold one side to the halfway point.

Step 8

Fold 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 10
  

And pull it through.

Step 11

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

Step 12

… until you begin to build up a chain.

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.

And you’re done! Congratulations!
I hope you like it.
