Braided fabric bracelets

Found these online yesterday and LOVED them! Not only are they cute but totally baby and toddler friendly. We were in a gymnasium watching Jude play indoor soccer one day when Lennon pulled on my elastic beaded bracelet so hard that it broke and beads went rolling across the court, oops! I picked up all that I could find and hoped that no one would slip on fall on the ones that were left. Anyway, these fabric bracelets are awesome. Here is the tutorial on how to make them.

Cut three 2x12 inch pieces of fabric. If you have a larger wrist you might want to make the strips a little longer, you can always trim it to fit.

Stack all three pieces on top of one another and sew together on one end. This is what it looks like when spread out.

Safety pin to something and start braiding. The looser your braid the more flexible your bracelet will be. 

Sew the end when you finish the braid. Size the bracelet on your wrist and pin it making sure you have enough slack to slide it off and on. Take it off and sew the ends together.

Trim off any loose threads and any excess fabric that is left on the ends after you have sewn it together. Flip it so that the ends are in the inside of the bracelet and enjoy your new creation :)

I can't wait to make more of these!
