cool bracelets

The making of friendship bracelets originated in Central America. The weaving and knotting design is a form of macramé, which is a textile-making form using knotting rather than weaving or knitting. They were first seen in the US in the early 1970s.According to tradition, the recipient of the bracelet must wear it until the cords wear out and fall off naturally to honor the hard work and love his/her friend put into making it.Making friendship bracelets is fun and relaxing. While some people play video games to pass time or to enhance their hand-eye coordination, I make friendship bracelets. Making them requires creativity and patience. Depending on the length, thickness, and difficulty of the pattern, it takes me 5 minutes to 7 hours to make one bracelet.
