love doing this during the summer, fun and easy to do with kids, while being trendy AND cheap!
These become more and more comfortable the longer you wear them.
the wider you cut your strips the thicker your bracelet ect. will be.

-
first pick out three different colored bandannas. take a scissors and cut a slit, creating a tab about a half inch wide on each bandanna.
-
pull on the tab you just cut to make one long strip, rip until you get to the other side of the bandanna.
-
use a scissors to cut the seam on the other end of the strip.
-
repeat steps two and three for your remaining colors. you should have three strips now.
-
take a strip and dip it in a cup of water. squeeze excess water off from the strip. (using water helps the strips from fraying, as well has keep the jewelry together.)
-
twist the wet strip. (i usually hold one end in my mouth with my teeth so i can use both hands to twist.)
-
repeat steps five and six for the other two strips. you should now have three twisted strips.
-
tie the strips together with a knot close to the ends of the strips.
-
braid the strips together. (again i usually hold the knotted end with my teeth so i can use both hands for braiding.)
-
tie your rope to the right length for an anklet, bracelet, or necklace, and enjoy your new jewelry!
