You might think that friendship bracelets are just a kids craft, but bracelets continue to be a hot fashion trend. But buying bracelets in many colors can be very expensive.
Happily for us, we have a huge source of color literally at our fingertips — our stashes.
- If you plan on using your threads for bracelets, you should plan on using your uncut threads for these. Most of the time our stitching lengths are too short.
- Although full strands of floss are often used for bracelets, try not to use threads thinner than this — the result will be too thin to look good.
- Pick up the findings and other material for bracelets at bead shops.
- Make several in colors that relate to your clothing.
