Bracelets are as fun to make as they are to receive. I got my first bracelet from my best friend in eighth grade. I was ecstatic to finally have a so-called "friendship bracelet". In eighth grade, receiving a friendship bracelet was like a right of passage. If you had one, you were "in" with my group of friends. Since that day, I have been making friendship bracelets on and off.
I think the most enjoyable part of making friendship bracelets for me is that I can give them to my friends. I also like that they are a fun way to pass time. Over finals week freshman year, I brought my materials to school and made bracelets. My classmates were amazed at my talent and how fast I could create a bracelet. Soon after I started knotting my bracelet, I had a whole group of people surrounding me and asking me all sorts of questions. The funny thing was that the people that gathered around me that day weren't my best friends; in fact, they were classmates I didn't talk to on a regular basis. My hobby lets me meet new people and make new friends all the time.
Ah, now it all makes sense! I'm glad to know the rationale behind your blog name. I look forward to your bracelet-maker views of our class topics/issues.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to posting about our class topics/issues!
DeleteHayden! I can't believe that we have been friends this long and I didn't know that you were an avid bracelet maker! It has been a desire of mine for quite some time to learn how to make decent looking bracelets. I definitely want to see some of them soon!
