Looks great!
Back when I was in junior high and high school, I would probably make around a dozen of these for people every week, with whatever colors that they wanted. I still remember how to make them, but I just don't have the time or patience anymore!<br />So I saw these and thought that it would be neat to wear again. I really love the different colors and designs that comes with this. You get 5 bracelets total, with 4 being the fabric ones and 1 being a black, elastic beaded bracelet. You get a black with white, white with black, pink with purple/blue, and purple/blue with pink.<br />I especially love the black and white ones. I was actually more excited to put them on than I thought I would be! However, I do have a small issue with them.<br />If you look at the pictures I put up, even though I have the bracelet as tight as it will go, it is still quite big and very easily gets down to the halfway part of my hand after wearing it for less than an hour. I'm afraid that if I were to wear it longer and do the usual things I do every day it would end up getting loosened and fall off without me knowing it.<br />The way they are kept tied is with a specific style of knot that has 2 strings on each side. When you put a finger on the knot and pull on one of the strings, it will loosen on on side. By doing this with the other string it loosens on the other side. I really love this style to keep it on because it's really easy to take it on and off, but because I own a few bracelets with the same mechanic, I know that throughout the day, they tend to loosen up a little bit by the end of the day. It's because of that, that I know that these being as big as they are when as tight as they can be, they will more than likely get loosened through the day and that is not good.<br />I am a woman in her early 40s and wear a dress size 12/14. So if these are loose on my wrists, then I highly suspect that they will be even more loose on someone younger than me. Easily.<br />Does that mean I wouldn't recommend getting them?? No, not necessarily. I just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention so they know to be aware so they can keep an eye on it so it doesn't accidentally slip off. They are still really pretty and cool looking bracelets that would be good for a gift for your kids, or for them to have as gifts for their friends. I wish I could give advice on how to shorten it if needed, but I can't make the knot like this has. Wish I could because it's really cool and I like that a lot of bracelets have this now. Just be careful when wearing it is all I'm saying. They are well worth getting and are a fantastic bargain for how many you get.
