Have you heard the legend that if you wear a friendship bracelet until the strings break and the bracelet falls off, your wish will come true? Why not make your own bracelet, and find out for yourself!
Join me for this fun and engaging one-week self-paced class where learners ages 8-12 will learn how to make the diagonal stripe friendship bracelet. Learners will begin by exploring the fundamental stitches for making bracelets. They will then have an opportunity to make their own diagonal stripe bracelet. They can then post a photo of their completed bracelet to the class page. I will provide feedback and encouragement. No previous experience is required for this class. It is intended for beginners.
I have been making friendship bracelets for the past 32 years! I learned the craft from my friend and a book when I was a child, and have been making bracelets ever since. It has been a wonderful way for me to release stress and anxiety, while being creative at the same time.
❓Does your learner like to wear bracelets?
