After these weeks you will have 8 new and unique bracelets + keychains! Each week we will learn a bit more about bracelet techniques, and use them first had with a bracelet. After the class, students can work on their bracelet through the week, and show their progress though photos.

We will be using patterns from a website called braceletbook.com for some of our classes. There is no need for students to have an account, as I will be sharing the pattern as pictures during class, but if students would like to access patterns outside of class, parental supervision on creating an account or browsing the webpage is recommended. https://www.braceletbook.com
