Yarn "Cuff" Bracelet!

Finished product.
Pull out the straws.

Weave yarn under, over, under, over the straws.

2 straws, weave yarn through them, tie them in a knot at the end, then tape the straws together.

This is what you need: -2 straws (or 4, if you want to make it real thick)
-tape
-yarn
-scissors
-
How to make this. Super fun and super easy! Cut 2 pieces of yarn about 18" each. String the yarn through the straws. Tape the straws together at the end (about 1"). Then at that same end, tie the yarn in a knot (close to the straws). Then take your ball of yarn and start weaving around the straws under, over, under, over. The straws are sorta like a loom. Weave under, over around the straws until it is the length you want. When it is the length you want, tie a knot around one of the straws to help secure it. Then you carefully pull the straws out! Make sure you do not weave too tightly around the straws or you will never get them out. After you pull the straws out, tie the loose ends together in a knot as close as you can to the weave. Then you are done!!!! Chances are your second bracelet will look better than your first :) I have made a 4 straw cuff and a 2 straw choker. It is a fun craft to create.
