Craft Rewind: Friendship Bracelets

This is my last craft rewind post!  At least until I find more boxes stuffed with old projects.  :)  I have shared all of my past sewingcrochetknittingcross-stitching, and lanyards, and I will end on friendship bracelets!

Yep, that summer camp staple of friendship bracelets, which I loved when I was a kid.  I ended up making some fancier ones as I got older, which you can see below...

I liked using a rainbow of colors, and it was really fun to make different patterns too.  Now, let me point out a couple of special ones.

This one had a rubber cord that gave it a 3-dimensional look.  Notice that it is slightly wavy?  I think it was part of the plan, but I'm not sure...

And I thought I would share the back closure.  I am not sure what it is called, but it was a nice way to put it on my wrist and be able to take it off easily.  Otherwise, I remember other girls wearing it the whole summer and looking gray and grody by the end of camp.  :)

To store it, I completely forgot about this, but I used two toilet paper rolls!  I tried using fancy bracelet holders, but this was the easiest thing to be able to slide them on and off easily and still keep them neat.  Pretty clever!

Short and sweet!
