Friendship Bracelets

The latest in a long line of would-be craft projects.  

This one, surprisingly, was actually thought up, purchased and accomplished all in a day, a fact that is slightly unheard of in the world of Brittany's crafts. This success is probably due to the fact that all of the thinking-up, purchasing and accomplishing was done not by me, but my roommate. My own results were a bit mixed.

So, things started out very neat and organized.

That quickly fell into a mass explosion of string.

I then attempted to rearranged that mass into something that slightly resembled a bracelet.

Here is what I ended up with; a rather pitiful attempt really.

That is what I get for never going to a summer camp. I actually don't think I would really thrive in a camp atmosphere. The only thing I ever pictured was the scene in the Lindsey Lohan movie "Parent Trap" when they are at camp playing poker in their bunks and the girls are betting Oreo cookies and nail polish. My sister and I always thought that was amazing and wished we could go to a camp like that. Looking back though, I don't think a real-life camp would have fit our lofty expectations. Dooming us to a cookie-less failure.

That was a lengthy digression. But, I'm back. After the baby bracelet above, I figured I should just attempt a standard braid. This went a whole lot smoother, let me tell you.

 Not only is it relatively uniform in color sequence, it also fits a normal sized wrist. Results!

Here is a video clip of the movie scene I was talking about too. 

I hope you all are having a splendid weekend. We are having glorious weather here and I just might convince myself to go out for a little sunbathing. Toodles!
