Does anyone have any ideas for friendship bracelet themes? Here's a pic of some of my latest bracelets, but I need some help with my next one :-) Ideas appreciated!
It's all tiny hand knots just like regular bracelets! :-) You kind of have to put the correct color in the right place. It's kind of hard to explain. Took me many many tries...
peace signs musical notes WWJD :) with Independence Day coming up, I'd say American flag theme (stars-stripes) you have piano on the picture... why not expand the instruments array? guitar, flute, drums... even those Hawaiian noise makers :)
and "girly" stuff like hearts and roses :) and (heck) "boy-ish" stuff like cars and tools :)
HOLY BEADED BRAIDED BRACELETS BATMAN! Those are amazing! I especially love the Pikachu one, he's sooo cute! These are ridiculous, and I adore your username.
Um, I heard that the ladies love Doctor Who? I'm sure the internet would explode over a Tardis themed bracelet. You could also do a bracelet with the different types of pokeballs or gym badges. You could also maybe do the weapons featured in the Zelda games.
Once again, this is a superior post. Thanks so much for sharing!
Ideas: * Harry Potter themed bracelets * World of Warcraft * Star Wars (an R2D2 bracelet would rock) * Bands like AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc. * Music notes - if you're feeling ambitious you could try doing a measure of a popular song. * Disney anything! I'm a disney fanatic, but there are so many options here. * Comic book anything! So many symbols and color choices to choose from!

I'll have one. I love Dr. Who! Just watched the episode with Rose + Dr. Who on Bad Wolf Bay in Norway. Sat there with tears running down my face. SIGH. How much are your bracelets?
Those are amazing! I love the detail. As for ideas, how about a medical theme? Caduceus, syringes, pills, that kind of thing. I'm a nursing student and I would definitely love to wear something like that. :]
I LOVE the keyboard bracelet! Freaking amazing. They look really complicated. I just noticed the small hearts too. o.O WAIT... is that a maze? Holy crap.
How about...
Tetris Pacman (someone already suggested it) Carebears sports teams smiley faces skull and cross bones $#&@! <--- hehe I curse a lot.
I would do a bunch with the first lines of diff songs written in musical notes on a staff..if that makes sense? Like the tattoo on my back has the first line of 'amazing grace' on sheet music..I think it would be a cool little bracelet...I don't know..just a thought :) also, I would make a watch one :)
WOW! I am so thankful for all of your positive comments and Awesome ideas!!! To answer some of your questions
- I think if you are attempting a bracelet and looking for a tutorial, my advice would be to try a more basic pattern and get the knots down (like this bracelet http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-friendship-bracelet/ ) Once you get the hang of it, you'll understand how to place the colors in the correct places. It takes a lot of time and every block is actually two knots, so prepare to practice a lot. My first bracelet was a space invaders bracelet and it took me 8 tries of getting halfway through and then starting over by cutting all of the thread and starting from scratch. Maybe not the best project to start for beginner friendship bracelet seventh graders ;-) but if you need advice let me know
- I love your ideas- some of them I have actually made (pacman and tetris)!! I have never seen Dr. Who though and when I googled tardis, a strange looking phonebooth came up.....? Is this what y'all are talking about? Hehe, because I definitely could think up a pretty cool pattern for that! I'll start designing something and report back soon! :-)
- Things like musical staffs (staffi?) with real songs and guitars and things are only tricky because they come out sooooooo big. Ends up being like a huge wristband... Like the hunger games one looks awesome on but any bigger I think would be too big....? I dunno... Guess you'd have to see it to understand...
- Yes that is a maze. ;-)
Thanks again for all of your comments! I am so excited to start some of these bracelets this weekend!!!!
Those are great!I used to make them in the 70's,but,mine were all simple "line"designs.I really have nothing for you but support.Again,those are great.

Captain Planet? (For a group of Friends: Earth, Fire, Wind Water)
Moon and Stars?
Words for Friends in different languages? Amigo, Ami (Male), Amie (Female), etc.
Friends in popular culture? (Watson/Holmes, Batman/Robin, etc)
musical notes
WWJD :)
with Independence Day coming up, I'd say American flag theme (stars-stripes)
you have piano on the picture... why not expand the instruments array? guitar, flute, drums... even those Hawaiian noise makers :)
