Back when we were in summer camp many of us spent a lazy afternoon in
craft class making plastic gimp bracelets. Back then we had time to spend lying on our
backs in the meadow looking up at the clouds in the sky and imagining what they might be
as they moved across the horizon. I have developed a way to bring back that lazy day
experience while at the same time update the finished project you can make with
this free craft pattern to something you would be
proud to wear.
Black Ash Cuff
Bracelet
This pattern describes the steps
required to make a 1" wide, Black Ash Woodsplint Cuff Bracelet. The bracelet can be
made in a wide variety of twill pattern variations once the basic method is mastered. It
is adjustable to most any wrist size and makes a lovely woven wearable fashion accessory
with particular appeal to basket lovers.
