Summer Rope Bracelets Return

The summer rope bracelet is back again! The weather is warm, the sun is shining & my wrists are happy again sporting the colorful rope bracelets!

Happy Memorial Day! I’ll be celebrating this holiday by running…. ahem, jogging the famous Bolder Boulder 10k race with my family. I participated for the first time last year & it was a blast. If you live in the Boulder area I wouldn’t miss it. There are bands at every corner, people throwing marshmallows, frying bacon & handing out beer. The belly dancers are a hoot & the costumes people dress in crack me up. Can’t wait! Just wish I had taken the time to train…..

Enjoy your day & lets all remember those that have served & are currently fighting for our country.

Rope Bracelet Cuffs

There was a post a while ago here about small wrap bracelets using the parachute cord & nylon ropes which was so fun & looked like a bunch of candy on your wrist- Perfect for summer. Since I figured out a couple of years ago how to make Turks Head bracelets for my kids I thought we could apply the concept with the same cording. Because the nylon doesn’t have stretch I devised a cuff type style that is finished off with leather on the ends. I have a couple different closures but I think the S-biner is the best. It keeps with the feeling of the sporty materials. I think this will be the staple summer bracelet
