Team Spirit Bracelets

Have fun showing your school spirit at your favorite team's next game with these awesome team spirit bracelets!  :)  Anyone can make them. They are inexpensive and a lot of fun to make.  I first learned how to make these bracelets at Girl Scout Camp in fourth grade and still enjoy making them now as a senior in college.  I find making the bracelets to be a relaxing and simple process, take little storage space, and can be transported easily.  A typical adult bracelet will take about two hours to make but if you are making it for a small child it will only take 1 hour.  Sizing is no problem.

My bracelet can be worn by both men and women.  You could sell these Team Spirit Bracelets as a fundraiser for any type of school club.  The profit would be high because the materials are inexpensive.  You can use any color combination and materials are readily available.  They are easy to ship and transport because they are light weight.  Postage fees would be minimal.  These bracelets are fun and easy to make.  

Another use for these bracelets is having elementary teachers use them as a reward program.  Certain colors could signify different achievements.  For example, if a student read 10 chapter books they would earn a blue and green bracelet.  If the student read 20 chapter books then they would earn and red and gold bracelet.  Several bracelets could be worn at the same time, similar to scouting badges.  Teachers could have their classes make these bracelets in art class.  Therefore it would not be any extra work for the teacher.  

My focus today is in making a team spirit bracelet.  In my tutorial I have selected cardinal red and gold because Iowa State University's school colors are cardinal red and gold.  Next football season I will be ready to cheer on the Cyclones with my Team Spirit Bracelet.  Now you too can get ready to show some school spirit!

Sure you can add as many strings as you like. It will make the bracelet wider but it will take longer to make.
