Fancy Friendship Bracelets Review & Giveaway



Okay, moms - I've gotta a whopper of a giveaway for you! If you have a little girl in your life who likes to create - this is the book for her. Fancy Friendship Bracelets is a book AND project kit all rolled into one. And if you create these friendship bracelets with your daughter, you're creating some quality memories between you and her and she and the friend she gives the bracelet too. As a creative gal and mom, I really like the sharing aspect of this book and giveaway.

And wanna hear the best part? Your daughter won't be sitting in front of a TV, on her cellphone, or in front of the computer. She'll be creating something to share with friends or wear herself. To me, that's priceless! And the fact that your child will be creating something with their own hands increases self esteem and follow through in finishing projects.

Here's what's included in this fab little book:
  • Small beads - size 06 beads
  • Big Beads - large enough for two strands of cord to go through
  • Cord - 40 yds of 0.5mm thick cord
  • Charms - 6 silvertone charms
  • Ruler
  • Instructions on bracelet basics as well as step by step instructions on creating 8 different friendship bracelets
As my little girl is a tad young for making friendship bracelets, I nabbed my 14 year old son to help me make some bracelets. And although he was hesitant at first, we had a good time making bracelets for his 4 year old sister. It was an hour of fun together. TOGETHER! And thanks to the well defined instructions, I think our bracelets turned out really well, if I do say so myself.

Guess what? The amazing people of Klutz are going to give away this fabulous book to TWO winners! And that's not all. Each of the winners will receive TWO books: one to keep and one to share!! (Each book retails for $19.95!)

  • An email address must be provided with entry or must be linked to your profile. (Your email will not be used for solicitation.) If an email address is not provided, another winner will be chosen.

I love the friendship bracelets but if I had to choose another it would be the loopy projects (potholders).

What a flashback - I used to love the Klutz books when I was a kid. I don't know what happened to my juggling kit!
