Friendship bracelets.

Freakinfreak · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-2009, 06:52 PM

Right, sorry about the repeat post but i've sorted colours out and pictures to make everything easier.
I did just do a whole post but it deleted itself so i had to start again

Anyway, here is what i need to know:

The length around your arm or ankle, in centimetres or inches please. Please don't add on extra inches or anything because whatever length you give me i automatically add on 2 inches so it's easier to tie for you. I plait the extra 2 inches because trying to tie the thick pattern like the arrowhead together is really hard!

I need to know what pattern you'd like and the colours you'd like it in (please tell me the number above the colour you want and not "the purplely one on the left of the second picture on the bottom with the number 5 and something" lol )

The following info is for you to know:

I make all of my bracelets from quality embroidery thread and each one is individual and none will be 100% perfect although i try very hard to make them all lovely and pretty and wonderful

The prices and details of patterns are as followed:

The zip pattern comes with 2 colours, 1 string for each colour.
£1.00 including postage.

The chinese staircase pattern comes with 2 colours, 1 string for each colour.
£1.20 including postage.

The candycane pattern comes with 3 strings, you chose the colours of these, you can have all 3 strings the same colour or all a different colour etc. but as with the others, the more colours, the wider is it (like the rainbow bracelet in the picture)
£1.20 including postage.

The arrowhead/chevron pattern comes with 3 colours, 2 strings for each colour.
£1.60 including postage.

The zig-zag pattern comes with 3 colours, 2 strings for each colour.
£1.60 including postage.

Multiples will be cheaper as i can combine postage.
If you want to add extra colours then each colour added will cost 50p because ALL the colours in the bracelet will have to be considerably longer so lots more string is needed.

Pictures of the style are below and then below them will be the colours to chose from, i have no black and white at the moment, i'm really sorry about that but i will try to get some as soon as possible! Oh, and by the way, the strings look glittery, they're not, but they are quite silky looking, they're rich in colour too

Any questions, just ask

The colours will differ slightly to these pictures as i couldn't get the perfect light to match the colour exactly.
They are pretty cool colours if i say so myself

Heya, well i can make them as wide as you want really, the more colours, the wider they get.
The top photo of the bracelets are the same pattern as the last picture but the last one has 6 threads instead of 3 and as you can see it gets quite a lot thicker with more threads

Hope this helped!

Oh, and if anyone likes any of the ones shown in the top photo they're for sale and can be sent straight away. Sorry, but the rainbow one at the bottom is actually a keyring since i underestimated the amount of string i would need

If you like it, you can have it for £1.50, the keyring is attatched but i suppose you could use it for something else lol.

Just want to point out that the purples look pretty boring on here but they are seriously lovely deep purples, the dark blues are like a royal blue and the darker greens are very rich greens the orange after the crimson is pretty bright, i was drawn to it lol!

Just to let you know that the bracelet you ask for wont match the EXACT colouring although it is the same string. The camera makes them look slightly different as i didn't use macro on the strings which i probably should've done

Anyway, thanks for looking

Morning, well, just about afternoon, bump.

I'm really, really sorry to say this but my prices have to go up slightly since my parents have now found out i'm stealing their stamps

so now i have to buy them myself.

Although it doesn't count for people who have already shown interest, these people pay the original price and they are as followed:

Izzyki
forever_20one
Lego

**NOTE** If you'd like 2nd class add 20p, it you want 1st class add 30p, this is just so that i can buy the stamps and the string with a small amount of profit for myself to go towards buying frozen food and another thermostat.

Thank you to everyone who's shown interest, i hope you enjoy your bracelets.

To forever_20one and Lego, please can you PM me with the details of what bracelets you want, thank you
