DIY FILES:: Friends Forever



I've fallen hard for Frieda and Nellie's friendship bracelets, hand knotted bracelets interwoven with their grandmother's vintage jewelry collection. An excellent opportunity to introduce some brights into my stack of arm adornments. And one huge road block, well about 200 of them - dollars.

Back to the drawing board. And time to pull out the old friendship bracelet making kit from the book fair (anyone else have this one?!) I'm pretty sure I've seen crystal bracelets at Forever21. 
Get to knot-tying with your favorite colored yarns, weave the two together, make another one and sell it to me at a discounted price!!
