I know it isn't a brand new style, but I began admiring wrap bracelets about a year ago, seeing them online and on wrists (!) and noting that some were quite expensive. Of course, my crafty friend Jane and I decided that we could make them- we love a challenge. So, I did as I often do when I want to learn a new skill, and went online to look for tutorials. I found a few, and picked the one I liked best. I watched "Learning the Ladder Stitch" from Lima Beads, but I made mine starting with the loop rather than the button, and clipped my loop to a board to hold it steady while I worked. Here is the result, which probably took about 8 hours to complete:
I was pleased with the result, and think my next attempts will go more quickly. Keeping the loooong thread tangle-free was the hardest part! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you also find some creative inspiration this week, whatever shape it takes!
