Hello

I believe that I’m probably the oldest person on BraceletBook, 60ish. I haven’t made friendship bracelets since my 20s and before that not since 9-12 years old which we only made box knot bracelets. My To-Do List has more than 2000 patterns that I want to try. So many choices!

Regarding the belief that friendship bracelets are only for the young, my view is that anything that brings you joy also keeps you young at heart.

Like my Hogwarts House, I value kindness, strive for fairness and search for peace and calmness.

Jewelry Making - beaded, crochet, wire wrapping, macrame or a combination of any of those. Prefer making rings and bracelets.

Helpful Hint:
For color inspiration, I recommend the book Colour Confidence in Embroidery by Trish Burr. I purchased my copy from Amazon. Wonderful book. She uses DMC thread, but the colors are clear enough that one can match a different brand.

Here’s wishing you happy bracelet making
