OK So i know this is a completely random thread but i found my old friendship bracelets from the last two summers and no i have the urge to make one and was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get the string/thread/cotton(am i being dim but i just cant think what was used to make them)

I want to buy some for camp. I know i can probably get some in america somewhere but has anyone bought some while they have been the UK. I want lots of colours and is there anywhere cheapish.

Hope this makes sense lol

you can get it most craft stores, Im making them this Monday with my guide unit, as I've still got all mine on from last summer and they keep tryin to get them from me I thought id just teach them how to do it

can you get multi packs and what is it just string i mean whats it called. I found small ones for like 75 pence in john lewis but they are the individual ones you know and it says cotton and i like too many colours so it could get quite expensive if you know what any of this means lol

also do you know how much they are?

its called Embroidery Floss! I just did a google search and argos sell it although its expensive there its £14.99 but you get 150 things of it! i dont if you saw how it comes at camp in the skeins but thats how they sell it there. its quite expensive stuff to buy unless you come across a reasonable priced store.

Alternatively have a look on ebay you might get some on there

Heres the link for the argos one if you wanna look at it

here you go 20 for £1.99

yeah see thats what i saw in john Lewis and i liked too many colours and for 15 you could only get about 20 so 150 for 15 ponds is actually really good its like 1 pence for each. I might just buy the argos one thanks rebecca and it can last a while lol

lol no problem!

Yeah it should keep you goin for ages, but then again once you start it gets really addictive i use it as a stress reliver in between exams

I could go for the cheap ones on ebay but i dont wanna wait for delivery and when you factor in how much each individual one costs then its cheap and they are worth it. I didnt get any friendship bracelets last year so i made myself 3 lol

Hey! I was thinking about taking some over to camp and making friendship bracelets with the girls in my cabin, so they'd all have one, like a team bonding type thing. Wasn't sure where to get it though, so thanks

must camps provide the string Emma so you dont need to buy it before hand really

oh right cool, sorted then

I just wanted some so i could make them at home too when camp was over. I bought the ones from argos last one in stock. Thinking about it now maybe it was kinda expensive and i prob shouldnt have spent that money when im saving up but they will last forever ok close enough anyway lol I am trying not to make any until friday when my exams are over. A councillor last year at camp had the string that changes colour as you go down in like one string was various shades of the same colour and i though that was cool but i cant find those one anywhere

Do you just plait all the colours together to make the bracelet? I was thinking of adding beads on etc. Can anyone tell me what kinds of bracelets they made @ camp as I'm the arts and crafts person at my camp and haven't made any of these for a long time, lol! My director said the kids go mad for them

Don't know - but I'm still wearing 3 of the 4 of mine, they are surviving just lol! Will never take them off, they shower, swim, do everything with me! LOL - memories of camp are always with me!
