It all started on Sunday. I went into Madewell with Sarah, saw some friendship bracelets and said “we should get these.” In the end, other items were gotten, and the $5 bracelets left behind. I couldn’t stop thinking about friendship bracelets, though.
This morning I pinned a bunch on Pinterest, and then I pulled out my embroidery floss to try out this tutorial. I swear, it’s like when I used to learn a new vocabulary word and then see it in EVERYTHING! Friendship bracelets seem to be everywhere! Or perhaps I’m just looking.
I haven’t hosted a swap in a long time, but I’m thinking a friendship bracelet swap might be super fun. Who wouldn’t want to sport a wrist full of pretty embroidery floss for the summer?
What do you say? Should I hammer out some details? Want to play summer camp with me?
Sure! I haven’t made one in EONS.
I’m in! Guess I should go buy some embroidery thread, huh?
I don’t know if I’ve ever made one. Is it hard to figure out? Lord knows I’ve got lots of floss from my cross stitch days.
Super easy! By the time you finish one, you’ll be an expert. The first one takes a while, but once you get going, they’ll take less than 15 minutes each!
Yes yes yes!!!!! I wanna swap friendship bracelets! I totally have a few from back in the day from important friends when I was 10.
Sounds like a lot of fun! Count me in!
I never made any of these as a teen, although I remember wearing them. Sounds like fun!
Count me in! Sounds like fun!
Put me down . . . I can ‘play’ now that school is almost out.
I’m totally going to go find all my leftover thread from my cross stitching days. Sounds like a good way to use all of it!
I used to sell these in highschool. I want to swap wiht you! “long distant BFF”
dude! I totally used to know how to make Fish in them!! Obsessed! I would totally be down with this swap!
Even though it’s winter in Australia (although our idea of cold is probably a joke to you!) I would love to participate in your swap. I have to tell you now, I have never actually made one but even if it’s dodgey, I’ll still choose cool colours!
Yes! count me in, I’m all about summer nostalgia this year. I haven’t made one in EONS and I do need to make use of thread stash since I haven’t been embroidering.
i’m so down!!
check out my youtube. i’ve been making bracelets for about 3 years now, but i’ve only had a youtube for a little while
