Inspiration
While this beauty created by Mike Perry was sold, I wonder if it inspires anyone else to try something similar with tongue depressors? Read more...
I followed the direction on Etsy to make my own sailor's knot bracelet. [link] This knot can also be referred to as Turk's Head knot. Finishing mine off, I used a super glue to seal the ends and hold them in place. Making mine out of clothes line that I bought at the hardware store, made it dyeable because it was cotton. I soaked it in a bath of water with a few drops of food coloring for about five minutes. Afterwards, I rinsed it well and let it dry.
I found a great tutorial for making rubber band bracelets. The video how-to from Craftastic is below. My daughters and I made them tonight after dinner. This is a very inexpensive craft, I bought paper clips and rubber bands at the dollar store. Our version included alphabet beads, these added to the total cost since they sell for around $7 at Hobby Lobby. This project is great for kids to get involved in and then they can teach their friends!
