Jewelry for the 4th

  
    Since I've started my blog, I've seen so many blogs about bracelets and anklets. I always think the jewelry is super cool, but I don't have a clue how to make it! So yesterday I decided I was going to make some 4th of July  bracelets out of string. I went to Joann's and bought a how-to book for $6. Luckily, the book came with red, white, and blue string.
    The first few designs I tried out did NOT go well. But these two did! So I went ahead and made a matching anklet. :)
    I think this is a super fun, easy craft to do. Even though some of the designs do take quite a long time (one of them took me 2 hours at the pool yesterday! But it wasn't for the 4th). If you're interested in learning to make these bracelets, often called friendship bracelets, the book I got was: Friendship Bracelets by Laura Torres. It was originally $12.50, but I had a coupon. So if you're looking for a fun way to make cute bracelets, check out this book. :)
    I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July & thanks for reading! :)
