Scotch tape for bracelets?

I have been continuing to experiment with techniques to make better nicer looking bracelets an I think i have finally found my favorite trick. Scotch tape. Yes, you heard right, tape. Use it to align the strings in a straight row. The sides of the bracelet I'm working on are almost perfect. It's beautiful.

Getting off to a slow start

I know I've been saying I'm going to get items up on the site for the past few days, but I am having problems with coming up with proper shipping prices. Also I am going to have to set up sales tax before hand. As soon as I get these two problems worked out, I'll have things up for sale. I hope to do business with some of you.

St. Patrick's day is coming!

While the next big holiday for the United States is actually President's Day, I am really sad to say I won't have enough time to make any USA themed bracelets.  Well, if I have no time for President's Day, why not the next biggest holiday. St. Patrick's Day. Everyone knows you shouldn't be caught not wearing green, and for those who forget to will be doomed to that dreaded pinch. So why don't we all plan ahead. Me to make them, and you to be prepared to wear green.

Floss Bracelets a.k.a Friendship Bracelets

If you have ever made floss bracelets in school as a child, you might or might not have been or are curious about where they originated from. Floss bracelets come from Native Americans in South and Central America. According to their traditions, when you tie one on the wrist of one of your friends you can make a wish. Originally it was to be worn till it fell off on its own, and at the time it falls off, the wish is supposed to come true.

Why buy and wear hemp and floss jewelry?

There are many reason to choose fibers as apposed to metal, but the biggest reason is allergies. 1 in four women who have worn or wear jewelry are allergic to metals, myself included, and is more common in women then in men. The most common metal to cause an allergic reaction is nickel. Nickel is even usually the reason behind break outs from 14k gold, do to its mixed content. It is rare, but possible to also be allergic to the pure 24k gold its self. So if you find yourself wanting to wear nice jewelry but allergic to most metal, why not try hemp or floss jewelry?

More fruit punch please.

Yet another bracelet finished, made with an arrow head chevron pattern. I'm going to make a second one and then move on to making one with paopu fruits.

Another Bracelet Finally Finished

This bracelet was made with a pattern for mini hearts. It was a very simple one and I liked making it. I do need more practice and plan I to make more in different colours.

Paopu Fruit? I think so.

Patterns

I've been looking for patterns for making floss bracelets this week and I have found some nice ones. My top two favorites that I found happen to be a Rainbow Dash themed bracelet and a Domo-kun bracelet.
