Making the Perfect Bracelet Cup Holder

Hello crafters, welcome to another exciting episode with AWOL, your guide to all things Friendship Bracelets. In today’s tutorial, we traverse the world of practicality and creativity to conceive a unique Bracelet Cup Holder.
Whether you’re a fan of cold drinks that leave your hand freezing or an artist who fears water rings on your precious notebooks, this Bracelet Cup Holder serves as the perfect accessory. Impressively functional and remarkably stylish, it shields your hands from the cold while keeping your tables dry.
Today’s project features striking purple shades, specially ordered to capture the essence of our craft. We owe the hues to our friend of 13 years whose request instigated the conception of this wonderful accessory.
The pattern designing episode was an adventure in itself, with challenges arising from reducing the circumference from 150 to 144. While the intention was to evenly break up the bracelet into 12-string segments, the difference drastically impacted the bracelet’s aesthetics – a point we later rectified in the tutorial.
In the video, you’ll witness speedy time-lapse footage capturing days of hard work condensed into minutes. You’ll be amazed at how deftly I integrate three strings on one side and three on the other – a trick that restores the bracelet’s original circumference.
Our signature pattern is elegantly exhibited in the strap making section. Emphasizing on ensuring thickness and durability, we increase the strands from the usual 12 to a solid 24. Coupled with an immense strap to facilitate handling, it beautifully morphs into an aesthetic accessory that’s both utility-oriented and uniquely attractive.
Bear in mind; this isn’t a tutorial for beginners. The knotting technique may be intermediate; the complex designing process places it in the advanced category. Nonetheless, we cherish challenges and embrace the journey of creation. So, dive in!
