“A handmade creation like a friendship bracelet is a wonderful visual reminder of a bond between two buddies or two siblings. When it’s handmade, it’s made with kindness, affection and thoughtfulness, traits every kid should envelop.”
Whether you are looking for a great gift to give an 8+ year old or looking for a kit to make some homemade gifts, look no further than My Circle of Creativity craft kit by My Friendship Bracelet Maker. This amazing kit comes with the following:
- A loom with 12 patterns on 6 pattern discs
- 30 bobbins
- 112 pre-cut threads (in 14 fun colors)
- 100 pony beads (in 10 colors)
- 15 key rings
- 26 plastic laces (in 9 colors)
All of this comes in a carrying case that keeps the supplies neat and organized. The carrying case can be taken anywhere! Ours travels a lot to the hockey rink where my girls work on different projects.
The kit allows you to make 12 different pattern friendship bracelets, round not flat, and box or cobra knot lanyards for keychains or decorations (backpacks, bags, zipper pulls, etc.).
The directions are very easy and this allows you to start, pause, continue, while making your creation! My daughters made a bracelet for me!
Loom ready to go. A photo of the bracelet is on the disc and you align the colors of your bracelet with the pattern on the disc. The purple “knobs” are the bobbins that keep the thread in place as you work on your bracelet.
The directions are the same regardless of the pattern in the bracelet. This makes it easy!
This is the bracelet as it comes out of the bottom of the loom.
The friendship bracelets are very easy to make with the loom and pattern discs. The bobbins helps keep the threads all organized and allows you to start and stop working on your bracelets without messing up your hard work. The bracelet “comes out” the bottom of the loom.
Here is the friendship bracelet that my daughters made for me…I love it. It did take a while to make but it is so worth it. I read in a popular magazine this week that homemade friendship bracelets are the rave this year for homemade gifts! How cool is that?
There are lots of places you can go to learn how to make other projects and crafts, like Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube. There is also a My Friendship Bracelet Maker blog. There are so many wonderful ideas out there. Let the creativity flow! Also, the My Circle of Creativity is a 2012 Mom’s Choice Awards Gold!
My daughters are having a blast with My Circle of Creativity making friendship bracelets and my son likes making the lanyards for his friends backpacks. My Circle of Creativity is such a cool craft kit – me and my family really like it!
