Dec. 20th.

Dec 12th -
Craft Hell is back with a fury.

I've found my worst nightmare of current time : No it's not the supposed apocalypse, it's flat woven friendship bracelets.
These devilish little things take a bit of your soul with every knot when you attempt making one with more than 10 strings.

A friend likes that boy band One Direction and I found a good pattern for a flat woven bracelet with their logo thing. It has 22 fricken strings. I've restarted the beginning of this bracelet 2 times now. IT'S TAKEN ME 3 HOURS TO EVEN START. 

Once again, I'm restarting the bracelet which is a tedious task. Each knot of the bracelet has to be undone and hopefully the strings don't tangle during the process. 


Why am I making the bracelet instead of buying something similar, you may be asking. The reason is simple. I like the Holidays to be personal. If I'm able to make something for someone that they'll have a use for or enjoy, it makes it that much more meaningful. Rather than going out and buying something that someone else made, I enjoy the look on peoples faces when they get something handmade. It means more because you put forth time and effort just for them. Even if it's just a handmade card, things made by hand usually get better responses than any old knick-knack from Walmart.
