The fashion accessory invented by a high school shop teacher is the slap bracelet. It was invented in 1983 by Stuart Anders, a high school shop teacher from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The slap bracelet consists of layered, flexible stainless steel spring bands covered with fabric, silicone, or plastic, which snap around the wrist when slapped on it. Originally sold under the brand name "Slap Wrap," it became a popular fashion fad among teenagers and children in the early 1990s
