Designing my bracelets

          I never thought that I would design anything. I can't draw, so it very difficult for me to draw out a design and transfer it to a pattern. So for my bracelets I started out by just making bracelets that I found a pattern for and just changed the colors to something I liked. After I made bracelets for while, I got bored with making the same old design and decided to try my hand a modifying the patterns that I found. Then I decided that I wanted to make my own bracelets.
        So I have started designing my own bracelets. I still can't do patterns, but I can get the design I want made. To make my bracelets, I will plan out my bracelet on graph paper and then I will start tying the bracelets. To make sure that it will turn out the way I want, I will start with a small amount of string and try the design.  I will make a small sample of design, I don't want to waste my material just in case it does not work. If it works, I will do a larger bracelet, but if it still doesn't work, I will find another use for it. I do love it however, when a design plan comes together, but it is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
       Here are a few of my favorite patterns I have designed. They were hard work, but worth it.
