June 14 As you know I am a big fan of the Twenty to Make books. I
love the way you can buy these books for a small charge and be able
to make so much from them. This book doesn't let the range down.
Using many varied different types of materials you are given lots
of fun and interesting bracelets to make. The other good thing
about the book is you can take what you learn and use it with
whatever you have to hand to create your own designs. The book
gives you everything you need to make each of the bracelets. This
includes plating techniques, which are explained in both written
and diagram format. This would be a brilliant book for teenage
girls. If they want that something for themselves or friends then I
am sure they'll soon want to be making some of these. I even chose
to make one for me. I used DMS Natura cotton yarn and a button I'd
made myself. I really enjoyed this book and I loved how I could
make some of the designs out of things I had around the house. I've
got my eye on a few to make as presents for family members. I've
just got to order a couple of things and I'll be making some more.

Autumn 2014 This simple & very affordable book is a great
introduction to friendship bracelets. Learning just two basic
knotting techniques allows your to make 20 different bracelets. The
two knots used are explained in detail at the beginning of the book
in both words & diagrams. Learn these and you are ready for off.
Knot tying techniques have arisen spontaneously in several ancient
cultures and the traditions maintained to the present day. Modern
day friendship bracelets emerged in Central America in the 1970's
when family and friends protesting about the disappearances of
Mayan Indians and peasants in Guatemala wore them. They are
generally used today however as a symbol of friendship, given by
one person to another. With this little book you can soon make many
friends very happy. Pam gives a variety of styles, none of which
require any specialist equipment. All the materials used are
readily available from bead sellers or haberdashers and nothing is
set in stone. You can easily substitute a given material for
another of your choosing so nothing need hold you back. Each
project is displayed with large coloured photographs and the
construction explained step by step. Within a couple of hours you
can soon be wearing your own fun creation.
