Do you ever feel bored or stressed? Well, making a bracelet out of string is one great way to get busy and de-stress! First you must pick the colors you desire.  You may think bracelets made out of string are just worn during the summer, which a lot of the time they are.  Well, there are many kinds of bracelets you can make that can be worn during the winter and fall also.  You may just make these not as bright in color.  For instance, instead of choosing neon colors and bright beads, you have the option of using darker colors or even hemp, which is a tan string that isn't as soft as other string and a bit thicker.  
  Not only do you have the choice of colors for your bracelet, but you can also choose how thick or thin you'd like it to be, and what type of pattern you'd like.  People go usually as thick as 20 strings and as thin as 3.  Personally, I like to make ones with 12 strings usually.  You have multiple types of pattern options as well.  You can make the usual, plain one that goes on a diagonal, the V pattern, or you can make up a pattern (I like to call this freestyle).  Within this blog you will learn all about the different types of bracelets, ankle bracelets, and necklaces that can be made out of string and beads.
