Tornado bracelets, braided bracelets and knotted bracelets are what I remember from childhood. Using different colored strings to make fun bracelets to trade with friends was the "cool" thing to do. Now there are so many more knots to try out and fun accessories to add to designs. With the help from Friendship Bracelets, the kids will be able to get creative with designs that are reborn.
With 23 easy-to-make bracelet designs, children of all ages can have fun using embroidery floss to make the jewelry of their dreams. Aside from the typical braids and knots these patterns give you the option to add charms, beads and jewels to make the perfect accessory.
Wrap bracelets are hugely popular right now, so if you or the kids are looking for something similar then you might try out the Beaded Cuff on page 3. You'll need two skeins of embroidery floss and an assortment of colored beads. You'll be taping the bracelet down to the table just like we did when we were kids; this will certainly be a nice memory to create with your kids or grandkids. Tying knots and sliding on beads will produce a beautiful beaded cuff. What's great about this type of bracelet is that you can make it your own and choose whatever colored beads fit your personality. You'll also really enjoy the Alternating Color Square Knots Bracelet because you can add a fun dangling charm to really make it personalized.
Friendship bracelets, and jewelry in general, make a great gift for any occasion - best friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, aunts and uncles, everyone can sport a friendship bracelet. The general instructions provided in the book teach the necessary knots and finishing techniques for the best outcome. If you're looking for earthy and beaded or colorful and charmed this book has it all.
