A lot of people asked me if I made all those BlogHer friendship bracelets by myself.  The quick answer is no.  I had a lot of help.  I took all of my supplies on a quick vacation the weekend before BlogHer.  I made some in the car on the way and then I got all sorts of relatives working on them.  Here you can see my husband separating the colors.  My uncle wanted to learn how to make one, too.  He made one for his wife.

My cousin got in on the act.  She made several of them and I sure appreciated her work!  I personally was only able to finish about 20.  I was feeling pretty good about that considering I didn’t decide to do this until a week before the conference.  I also got a family friend to make as many as she could.  She is a young teenager and loves to do it.  I offered to pay her per bracelet and she went to town!  She’s going to keep making them for me so I’ll have a good supply for next year and any other events I might go to.  Guess I better make some more shrinky dink charms!

Would you like a Design Mom approved BlogHer friendship bracelet?   I’ll try to get one to anybody that wants one.  It will just take a while.  However, if you’re a craft challenge participant for August (packets still available!), I’m pretty sure you’ll see a little something extra in your packet.
