I saw the reel on facebook and came here for more details. I’m thinking about strings for my drawstring gift bags.

[@kathywiseley4382]

😂 Same

[@lauramiddleton2709]

I love this, going to teach my grandkids, and make some for my handbags and wallets I design and sew~! Thank you! ~

[@sarahakinlawson1595]

How do you tie it to your wrist? Can you show a pic of that?

[@debb1371]

Excited to try & im 68!! Thanks a TON!!

[@RiseinReverse]

Here from Facebook 🖤 excited to try

[@ThePhasesofaRubyMoon]

I'm going to try adding beads to the strands, maybe like every four strands or so just to add some sparkle. I'll report back if i can make it work. Lol thank you for this tutorial! I have Ehler's Danlos Syndrome and have hypermobile finger joints so holding strands of floss tightly around my fingers with constant tension really hurts, but this is totally going to be doable! Accessible, inclusive crafts ftw! Just subbed because you're awesome! ☺️💗

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

Beads is a great idea! Let me know if it works!

[@cocor9855]

We have state testing today in my 5th grade class. We are totally making these after testing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@StandUpForChildrenToday]

I just came across the reel on Facebook too and now I'm here at 5:26am, subscribed and picking out yarn and about to make a bracelet. I guess I'm not sleeping tonight 🤦‍♀️😅

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

lol! Hope your bracelet turned out!

[@StandUpForChildrenToday]

@AGirlandaGlueGun it turned out great, thank you 😍 I was struggling at first, because it's kinda like knitting and that's not my type of craft, but I got the hang of it and I'll be making two for each junk journal I make and sell now. 😍💜

[@gerilynne1955]

I love making these. It's relaxing. I make them for my necklaces. Great for Gothic type of jewelry.

[@dpmay26]

You’re a great instructor because you’ve prepared us for all the pitfalls. I’m going to go out and buy my floss tomorrow and start making these little beauties right away. Thanks so much for sharing this easy craft. 🙏🏾💙

[@basilunderworld]

does the size of the circle matter? what if I make it really large?

[@ellensackett]

I'm not terribly crafty, but I think I could do this! It seems like it would be a good project for senior citizens too!

[@cassandracleveland]

Thanks for the link from instagram! Excited to give these a go ❤

[@cindyenglert.az51]

Thanks so much for this! Going to make them with my granddaughters!😀

[@angeliqueriddles8632]

Could you do a tutorial on how to end off the bracelet please? And also maybe one where you use more string to make a thicker bracelet?

[@rebecca-familyrich7764]

Yes please show an example of how to end off and put bracelets together

[@philadelphiachr922]

YES!!!!

[@shondra6]

these will be fun with my garndeees TFS

[@basilunderworld]

this is AWESOME!?

[@phylliswatts7201]

Thank you, making them with granddaughter.

[@itsmemarxssa]

Luckily I JUST had an Amazon package delivered, so using that box for this!

[@catalateacher6812]

This is great, one suggestion I would make is add numbers or letters to the notches, so small children can remember better, no??

[@happy2bme10]

Have you tried to do this with more threads? If yes, can you provide tips? I think this technique would make a great bag strap if it was thicker.

[@reneepardee1653]

Maybe use paracord?

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

Haven't tried it with thicker or more threads-but I know it works! Paracord is thicker and work well. Search up kumihimo and see if you can find a bigger strap technique.

[@ritaprovencher6048]

Thank you. I acquired a foam round and had no idea how to use it. The slots are numbered?? Anyway, I appreciate your video!❤😊

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

If you google kumihimo you will see lots of different braiding techniques- so the numbers are there to keep track as we braid! Not needed for this easy bracelet!

[@marywalter5064]

Does the size of the circle make a difference?

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

We keep our size between 5-6 inches! I don’t really think it matters but i haven’t tested out a larger or smaller one!

[@marciahammers]

Can you use string to do this ??

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

sure!

[@tiwandaford2890]

Does it matter how big the circle is made?

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

We keep our size between 5-6 inches! I don’t really think it matters but i haven’t tested out a larger or smaller one!

[@cathyhoffmann7054]

I wonder if this could be done with paracord...

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

Someone said they did it with a paracord! It was really think- perfect for a dog leash or a strap

[@amandafairbanks2284]

Where is your Apple Watch band from? It’s gorgeous!

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

Amazon!!! Ad amzn.to/42b0kCS

[@MsSunstoned]

Did I miss the size of the circle? I watched it twice but easily distracted. LOL

[@AGirlandaGlueGun]

5-6 inches!

[@MsSunstoned]

@@AGirlandaGlueGun thanks.

[@TwinNumber2-r3b]

This is terrible I'm currently having a panic attack bc she doesn't explain it enough so thanks i hate you

[@jpat622]
