Braiding Your Own Bracelet
1. Cutting the Cord
Let’s make a cool pony bracelet! First, grab these items:
-
Colorful cotton or hemp cord
-
Kid-safe safety scissors
-
A handy clip to hold your work
Now, cut the strings for your bracelet:
-
Pick your main color and cut two long pieces (125 cm each).
-
Pick your second color and cut two short pieces (50 cm each).
2. Knotting Process
Step-by-step instructions:
-
Secure the strands: Tie the shorter strands together at one end to form a base.
-
Use a clip or clamp to hold the strands in place.
-
Make square knots:
-
Take one of the long strands and place it over the core strands.
-
Bring the other long strand under the core strands and through the loop created by the first strand.
-
Pull tight to form the first half of the square knot.
-
Repeat the process in reverse to complete the square knot.
-
-
Continue tying square knots until the bracelet reaches your desired length.
3. Finishing the Bracelet
-
Once you reach the desired length, tie a final knot to secure the end. Trim any excess cord, leaving about an inch or two.
-
Tips for success:
-
Practice knots: If you're new to macrame, practice tying square knots before starting your bracelet.
-
Experiment with materials: You can use different types of cord or add beads for a unique look.

Make Your Tie Dye T-Shirt
1. Gather Materials
-
Pre-washed white cotton t-shirt
-
Rit Dye or fabric dye in squeeze bottle (1 color/bottle)
-
Rubber bands, plastic bag and rubber gloves
-
Protect your work surface with plastic tarp.
2. Twist or Fold the Shirt
-
Lightly dampen the shirt so it's wet but not dripping wet.
-
Pinch the middle of the shirt and twist it into a spiral, or fold like an accordion.
-
Wrap rubber bands around the shirt to hold it in place and make sections for the dye.
3. Apply Dye and Let It Set
-
Use squeeze bottles to add dye to each section. Make sure the fabric is soaked with color.
-
Put the shirt in a plastic bag and let sit for several hours (overnight is best).
-
Rinse the shirt until the water runs clear, then wash it by itself in cold water.
-
Make sure to not wash with other items as the dye might bleed.
