These are so cute and what a wonderful way for me to use my button stash. Thank you so much for this marvelous, creative, fantastic idea.(Are you getting the idea that I really like this?)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the last minute gift idea! These should whip up quickly and they are a good way to use up a small amount of leftover yarn from other projects. :)
ReplyDeleteLove these bracelets. Thanks for sharing! I do have a question - the one made with the Paton's Grace yarn where you added the initial bead - I noticed it is a thin braid, not like the others, and not sure how you did this!? Could you explain? Thanks so much, Linda
ReplyDeleteHi, Thank you for sharing your pattern. I have a couple munchkins that will enjoy these. Thanks again!
