Friendship Bracelets

"This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.."

I remember making such bracelets on a summer camp (I was 11 then) as they became very popular among the girls, including me. We made a great team so we traded them with each other and in the end I came back home with dozens of such bracelets.
Today’s tutorial is made for a special request from a ten-year-old Iza, who recently became interested in making Filofun bracelets. She also liked my embroidery floss bracelet I never take off and she wanted to know how to make one. Due to lack of time to show it to her personally, I decided to make a tutorial here. The pattern is not complicated and it is only one of hundreds of possibilities of weaving.

Happy Easter Eggs

Today’s tutorial is all about Easter. I got the idea at haberdasher’s, when I saw those polystyrene eggs and an embroidery floss stand below it. I have worked with such eggs a long time ago but I used ribbons for decorating them. The effect wasn’t very satisfying for me and I used tons of pins. This idea, however, requires tons of white glue but it’s cheaper and really rewarding.
