You'd be surprised how many kinds of bracelets can be made out of string!

So, this week I've been working on a few bracelets for my cousin, Amelia, because it was her 5th birthday on Monday.  It's a simple stitch and includes light pink string and dark pink string.  It's the stitch that is usually used when people make hemp necklaces or bracelets.  I decided to get creative and use colored string because I know that's what Amelia would rather.  Since this took only a short period of time to make because Amelia's wrist is so small, I made another bracelet.  This one is made out of white string and blue/purple beads.  I added a bead every other stitch so the bracelet is mostly made out of beads.  These bracelets are usually worn during the summer, but I know my five year old cousin would wear them any time of the year.  Giving these bracelets to Amelia made my other cousin, her sister, Eliza, a bit jealous.  So, I told her she would have two bracelets and maybe even a necklace for her birthday.
I'm not positive which kind of bracelet I am going to make Eliza, but I should think of one soon because I know that will be my next task.  You'd be surprised how many different kinds of bracelets that can be made out of string.  I'll post a picture of several different kinds once I figure out how to.  I've made hemp  bracelets and necklaces with shells and beads stitched into them.  It really makes each bracelet and necklace look extremely different from one another by adding different kinds of beads and shells with different colored string. I've even made a bracelet with string stitched around a plastic mold.  However, this came in a kit.  You may have seen them before.  There one of my favorites, but they take a long time to make.  I'd say a total of 12 hours.  Whereas the others range from 30 minutes to 5 hours depending how thick and the long the bracelet/necklace is.
