Ravens Wrap

It's Purple Friday here in Baltimore...

And even though we have a Bye this week on the football schedule, I've suited up anyway with this new wrap bracelet.

It's freezing here today so the more wraps the better.  This bracelet has five.


I've completely fallen in love with these wrap bracelets because they allow so much flexibility in design.  And because of the wraps, it feels like you're wearing five separate bracelets instead of one.

I was psyched to find these vintage black glass buttons that kind of look like footballs in my stash.


And you can purchase official NFL charms from FireMountain.com.  You might want to check around for a cheaper price.  I noticed they had gone up a few dollars since when I bought mine.


There are great video tutorials on Beadshop.com on how to ladder stitch between leather cording.  Once you master that, you can make bracelets for any occasion.

Remember the ones our family made for Fourth of July?  They're here on this post.

These bracelets would make great Christmas gifts.

A big thank you shout-out to the Friendship Bracelets website.  I modified one of their friendship bracelet patterns for the "Ravens" logo.

Have a great weekend everyone~!

What a great idea - turning a loud, sweaty, sporting occasion into an excuse for a really decorative and truly unique piece of jewellery!

That's very cool! If I could tolerate bracelets I'd give a try at an Eagles one.

Dang it all, I really wanna learn how to make these ... have been intending to for ages! If only we weren't across the country from each other or I'd say, let's get together for some wrap sessions !! This looks TERRIF, Susan, great job. I'm so inspired & think I have all the materials already to jump in. But for right now I'm gonna jump over to that website and look at their How-To. Thanx mucho.

Although not a Ravens fan ( NE Patriots for me) I love this bracelet. I think I may try to make this style. Thanks for the links.
