2:00 - 2:30 Dance Craft: Camp Bracelet
Materials:
- 3 strands of embroidery floss or yarn each 6 feet long per camper.
- (Floss is nicer but a nice thick yarn can be easier to use the first time you do the project)
Instructions:
There are many Youtube instruction videos walking you through how to do this; click here to view the one we use. The video uses a slighlty different method; either will yield the same results.
- Put your yarn together so all of the ends meet.
- Fold in half and knot in the middle (now you have 6 strands).
- Tape the knot to a table or clip it onto a clipboard (or get a friend to hold it).
- Starting from left to right, use the left most string to make a double knot around each of the other strings -- the image shows what one double knot looks like.
- Still using the left most string, make a double knot around each other string, one at at time. You should tie a total of five double knots with the left most string (one double knot per other string).
- After completing Step 5, the string we used for knotting is now on the right most side of the project and there's a diagonal first row of knots across our bracelet.
- Again, starting from left to right, we'll pick up our next string and knot all the way across with it, repeating Step 5 but now with the new most left string.
- Continue this process of taking the left most string and double knotting all the way across the other strings until your bracelet is long enough to tie around your wrist.
- Tie a simple knot in the end and then tie it around your wrist!
