It has been ages since I've posted anything! Just been so busy with work and school! This is a simple and easy DIY for a bracelet. I figured since ombre is extremely popular right now, I'd do ombre colors. :)
Pick four colors (it can be any four, or it can be ombre colors like I did). Wrap the string around your wrist five times to get the length you need for a bracelet. I like to braid it at the beginning and end to give me a place to tie it on my wrist. Then separate the strings in the order you want them in. For this pattern, since I have the colors meeting in the middle, make sure you have the same color on each side.
(Repeat this step twice for every string. There should be two knots on each string!)
Follow the steps in the pictures for each color. Continue this until you have enough string for a braid on the end of the bracelet. Voila, you're done! Easy peasy, just a bit time consuming. I still haven't finished mine which is why there isn't a picture of the end product! (I know, I'm ashamed!)
These bracelets are something I've been making since I was little. They're a great craft for little girls to do! Great gifts as well. :)
PS- We're having a baby BOY!!!! I am beyond excited. :) I suppose I should have made a blue ombre bracelet, but I started this before I found out the gender. Now we have to start talking about NAMES! Ahh!
