KNIT

With Mother's Day just a few weeks away, we've come up with a special project that is perfect for any mom. These cuff bracelets are fun to make and fun to wear. We used purchased bracelets for most of ours, but

CROCHET

we've also included instructions on the website on how you can make your own in custom sizes. (The turquoise knitted bracelet above is a custom size.) They don't take long to make so you can make several in different colors and designs.

WRAPPED

Download the patterns for knitted, crocheted and easy yarn-wrapped bracelets plus the custom size instructions. Then you can experiment with all the techniques in your mom's favorite colors. No matter what color, fiber or technique you choose, she is sure to be impressed by her very clever child.

If you enjoyed making the bracelets shown at the top of the newsletter, or you just want to try a few different jewlery techniques, here are two books you will enjoy. For crocheters, we recommend Hooked on Jewelry, an inspirational book with 20 different projects to make beautiful crocheted accessories. In case you missed Knitted Wire Jewelry, which was reviewed in a previous newsletter, take a second look now.

Don't forget to post pictures of your knitted or crocheted jewelry on our Facebook page to inspire other crafters.
