5 Strand Braid Friendship Bracelets. Last summer I was on a friendship bracelet making kick. We made these chain bracelets , these triple ball bracelet s, these fishtail bracelets , and these diamond friendship bracelets … I’ve been jonesing to make another one ever since! These bracelets are supremely easy to make… they only look complicated. Regular old friendship bracelets can take hours, but you can whip up a few of these in just twenty minutes. And once you master the 5 strand braid, the options are endless! (I can’t wait to try it with a thicker rope.) Materials: 5 shades of embroidery floss, sharp scissors. Begin by cutting your embroidery floss into ten pieces (2 per color, each about 32″ long) and grouping them together by color. Take your outermost left strand (the blue one, here) and bring it under the next strand (pink in this case) and over the next strand (peach, here.) Continue along, weaving under-over, under-over, and a pretty pattern will develop.

The Pintester Takes on DIY Candle Designs

Contrary to weird Pinterest captions, you do not draw on the wax paper, or draw on the candle, or draw a design backwards and then iron it on, or any of that other stupid shit. The blog post clearly instructs you to draw the design on tissue paper, just the way you want it to appear (not mirrored). Sounded easy enough, so I gathered my materials. First, I taped a piece of tissue paper about the size of my candle to a piece of regular paper. This step is only so the design won’t bleed through the tissue paper onto, like, your kitchen table or your pants. DIY Christmas Wreath, Wool Scarf Christmas Wreath Tutorial, 2 min DIY.
