Anchor Bracelet

Remember in 7th grade, when every girl and her best friend made each other charm bracelets. They were like the colored bandanas of 12 year olds: everyone knew who was friends with who by what bracelet they were wearing and if you had an arm full of bracelets you were the most popular girl in school. Well, now its time to put your friendship bracelet-making to use in a more mature fashion. Start with a small anchor charm, 2 different colors of twine, and a clasp. I found my supplies at Michael's craft store: only $0.37 for each color of twine, $4.00 for two of the anchor charms, and $3.00 for a packet of 30 clasps. I chose blue and white twine to add to the 'sea' feel.
Start with 2 strips of each color about twice the length of the circumference of your wrist. Fold the strips in half and put it through the hole at the top of the anchor charm, creating a loop. Pull the lengths of the string through like loop, as pictured below.

Tape the anchor to your working surface. Create a chevron pattern using the strings with that ole' information from the 7th grade. If you happened to forget how, refresh your memory with this YouTube video. Once the pattern has reached half the length of your wrist, clamp it closed using the clasp and a pair of needle-nose pliers according to the instructions on the clamp packaging. Create 2 more strips of each color twice the length of your wrist. Instead of folding it through the top of the anchor charm, put wrap it around the arm of the bottom of the anchor, pictured below.
Continue the chevron pattern until it is once again half the length of your wrist. Close it using the loop that your clamp connects to.
Stand back and admire your work!
