Like many of you, this year we are doing an all handmade holiday. This includes the kids!

After you've done a few successful strip bracelets (pattern 1),you're ready to do the arrow one (chevron, pattern2). For this bracelet you need to know both forward and backward knots. When you're doing the arrow bracelet, you need two strings of each colour. That means that when you're doing a bracelet from eight strings, you need four colours.

Needless to say, those phone cords seem to be everywhere…..and are generally in the way and hanging all over the floor. (Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends.halloween
