DIY Macrame Bracelet

Posted by on

Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting!

You’ll need:

Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths.  Fold the 20 inch piece in half, pull the loop through the ring, fold it over the ring, and pull the rest of the cord through the loop. Repeat the step on the other side of the ring. These strands will be anchored and remain stationary.

Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Fold the right cord over the middle strands and under the left cord. Pull the left cord under the right and middle strands and through the loop on the right side.

Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top.

Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord. Pull the right cord under the left and middle strands and through the loop on the left side.

Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . Continue knotting until the desired length is reached. Keep in mind that the clasp will take up approximately half an inch.

To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Pliers will help pull the needle through the tight knots.

Repeat the same step on the other cord.

After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. Save the scraps and melt the tips with a lighter to seal it for extra hold. Repeat the same exact step on the second half of the bracelet.

To make a sliding closure, shape the bracelet into a circle and overlap the middle strands. Use scraps to temporarily tie the cords together at each end.

Take the 10 inch cord and center it under the strands. Start tying square knots exactly the same way the bracelet was executed.

Stop at about half an inch and sew the knotting cords into the backside of the closure. Remove the temporary ties.

The two sets of middle strands are now the adjustable ties of the bracelet. Adjust to fit the wrist and tie each end into knots. Trim away any excess.

Your adjustable knotted bracelets are finished!! xx

    Lovely! Is the braclet with the crystal homemade as well? I’d love to make my own with the crystal as a connector but I can’t seem to find it. Thanks for your amazing DIY’s!

  19. Rachel    May 1, 2012

    This is too complex for my duckie brain but I’ve decided, I’m going to give it a go!!! Uh-mazing.

  22. Clara    May 1, 2012

    I love those! I want to make them too but I’m not sure about the last steps.

  23. April    May 1, 2012

    Beautiful! I so gotta try this! Much more grown-up looking than friendship bracelets!

  37. esther    May 1, 2012

    these are beautiful! Too bad these weren’t the friendship bracelets we gave out when we were in grade school!

  38. Marnie Nguyen    May 1, 2012

    Awesome! I’m DIY-incapable but I think I can pull this one off! Where do you suggest us buy the pretty gold rings and charms?

  40. S    May 1, 2012

    Hey, do you think you could use embroidery floss for these as well as the nylon cord?

  41. Anaelle    May 1, 2012

    I used to do those, but the bracelet keep turning on itself.. maybe I am tightening it too much..?
    Beautiful diy as usual! Thanks a lot for the inspiration

  46. Justine H.    May 1, 2012

    I used to do these knots when I was little too! Totally forgot about how to do them until now…and then it all came back to me! Thanks so much for this lovely DIY! I’ve always wanted to make bracelets with the rings! :)

  47. Kathryn H.    May 1, 2012

    these are lovely, but could we have a DIY for the lavender one with the thin gold tube? Thanks!

  51. Shannon    May 1, 2012

    Love the bracelets! Where can I get the beads with gold?
    Thanks!

  53. Anael    May 1, 2012

    Wow! These are amazing! In love with the gold rings. Such a nice added touch! Cannot wait to try this out!

  55. Anael    May 1, 2012

    very inspiring, thanks for being so generous with your creativity

  61. Miss K    May 1, 2012

    So beautiful! I wouldn’t have the patience to make it myself and therefore I admire your skill even more!

  62. Robyn    May 1, 2012

    Your links for ring, connector and charm show item not found. I love your findings but need the resource please.
    Fun and beautiful!

  63. Stacey    May 1, 2012

    I’ve been googling for double-ended charms like the one in the photo (love!), but I can’t find anything like it. Where do I find a stone or charm with a ring for attachment on opposite sides?

  68. Lisa    May 1, 2012

    THanks for the link to our site, that’s awesome…
    The site has had a few glitches, try again later today & it will be fixed
    Thanks again!

  73. Natalia    May 1, 2012

    love love these! I would like to make mine with a very sparkly connector!

  74. Ayesha    May 1, 2012

    These are super cute! I was wondering would it be possible to make these out of embroidery thread?

  77. sylvia    May 1, 2012

    where can I buy the rings? resources please.

  78. Erin    May 1, 2012

    So these are gorgeous but…where did you get the great gold rings and gem?!

  79. Amberly    May 1, 2012

    Cuuuuuuute! So doing this! Love how simple it is. And the grey and gold look gorgeous together.

  80. Erica    May 1, 2012

    @sylvia @erin gold rings used in the bracelets are linked to above in the supply list. good luck!

  81. Kait    May 1, 2012

    Love this DIY. So easy but the finished product still looks luxe. Hunter Style approved!

  82. Brooke    May 1, 2012

    Looks to easy, thats another DIY from you that I can add to my must do list.

  90. Christie    May 2, 2012

    I love these bracelets. Thank you for the link to the amazing knotting cord, cant decide which colours I want.

    Amazing site, love all your DIY bracelets.

  96. Jenna    May 2, 2012

    Love them!! Should you decide to sell these, please let me know!

  98. Jackie    May 2, 2012

    Hi, These are just awesome.!! Can you tell me what kind of material the cord is? Cotton, or nylon? Thanks a bunch!

  105. Didi    May 2, 2012

    LOVE THEM!! can you buy these??? Don’t have the dextarity in the fingers to do this. :o )

  107. Heather    May 2, 2012

    Love this! I’ve always loved making bracelets, definitely will try this design!

  110. Caitlin    May 2, 2012

    I love these! Do you have a DIY for the peach and lavender colored bracelets? Or how were those made?

  113. Ema    May 3, 2012

    Love love love..thanks for always sharing the best DIY’s

  117. Jo    May 3, 2012

    Brilliant – love it! But where do you get the gold links from? Jox

  118. Mo    May 3, 2012

    beautiful, I love how crisp and neat they are. Thanks

  119. Jocelyn    May 3, 2012

    I appreciate this tutorial so much; thanks for sharing! I tried one with embroidery floss since I didn’t have enough silk cord. It doesn’t look as polished/glossy because of the thread, but it captures the overall effect.

    Some questions: what do you do with the hanging adjustable threads? I kind of wrapped it around the bracelet but it doesn’t look good.. and my adjusted size keeps slipping. The coral and lavender bracelets inspired me to find crystals/accents for my own variations… did you also make adjustable bands for those?

  121. Sabrina    May 3, 2012

    Erica- I am IN LOVE with these. Question though- I know you linked the rings, but where can we find the gold tube and the faceted stone? They are beautiful as well and they are great contrast with the gold rings.

  122. Sabrina    May 3, 2012

    HAHA, nevermind, I just read the photo caption and got all the information that I needed. Thanks!

  123. Chloe    May 3, 2012

  129. Sabrina    May 6, 2012

    Hi Erica!

  139. Sawsan    May 9, 2012

  152. Joan    May 11, 2012

    Erica, I see a lot of people have been asking about the crystal connector. Could you please tell us where to find this? I looked at the site you connect to in the caption, but they do not carry them. Thanks!

  153. Erica    May 11, 2012

    @Joan, the crystal bracelet was purchased. It is made by Tai. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a “crystal connector” similar . . . good luck!

  154. Lauren Cioffi    May 11, 2012

    I made these and LOVE the way they came out! I posted about it on my blog! Thanks for the great post!

  156. Cate    May 11, 2012

    Great tutorial! Can’t wait to go home and make these. Thanks for posting where you got your materials. I really love the stone bracelet in the photograph. Did you make that yourself as well? If so, where did you get the stone?

    Thanks again for the great post!!!

  158. Jennifer    May 12, 2012

    These are amazing, I’d absolutely love to make one like the orange crystal bracelet. Where would i get a connector like that? And more importantly, how do i do that?

  159. DORIS    May 12, 2012

    THESE BRACELETS ARE SO CUTE , WHERE CAN I BUY THE GOLD RINGS AND GEM ?

  160. EMMA    May 13, 2012

    I love these bracelets they are fab, do you have a tutorial for some of the other bracelets in the picture too? Especially the thin lilac one on the end. Thank you x

  161. Rachel    May 14, 2012

    I made one for my mama using hemp twine and an old silver earring that I loved but never wore any more. She loved and I had a hard time giving it away! Good thing earrings come in twos…

  164. Michele    May 15, 2012

    Where did you find the charm that has the clear stone? I love it!

  165. Michele    May 15, 2012

    Where did you get the charm with the clear stone? I love it!

  166. Sarah    May 16, 2012

    I remember making these in girl scout camp! Oddly enough, I have a huge desire to make them again!

  167. Harriet    May 17, 2012

    Exquisite! Lovely friendship gift for males and females. Thanks for sharing!

  168. Kelli    May 18, 2012

    Thank you for this! How did you make the lavender bracelet? I’ve googled for instructions but can’t find them anywhere! Or did you purchase that cord already twisted like that, and just use the connector to cover the knot?

  169. candice    May 18, 2012

    Great DIY… FYI for those asking, you can get the double ended crystals on Etsy. I bought 2 coral ones like the one pictured for about 5 bucks. :)

  170. Calli    May 19, 2012

    Thanks so much for sharing this! I just made two and am loving them!

  177. Nahrain    May 21, 2012

    Wonderful design!!! Is the crystal in the pink bracelet homemade or is it online? I would love to make this type of bracelet with the crystal!!!

  178. Kathy    May 21, 2012

    Will someone please make these to sell!!!! There is no way I could do this. My fingers don’t work like that any longer.

  179. Leana    May 21, 2012

    Hey there. These are so beautiful. I grew up in So Cal too and never learned how to do this.
    Can I PM you and ask you a question about connecting your blog to pinterest. I love your stuff and see that you do a lot of that. Thanks!

    P.S. I grew up in the South Bay, went to high school in Manhattan Beach. You?

  180. Lolo    May 22, 2012

    Any other suggestions of where to buy the cord? Every color I chose was out of stock! It seems like a hard size to find. Thank you!

  181. Amanda    May 22, 2012

    Hey there, these are awesome! The web site selling the cord also sells different sizes. Have you ever used the 0.8mm-1mm cord? Does it come out the same?

    Thanks!

  182. Shannon    May 23, 2012

    Hi – I also wanted to make the orange colored bracelet that you have shown here, where did you get the piece that’s in the middle?

  183. gabytza2gaby    May 23, 2012

    That looks wonderfull and easy to make.I think i can easily find the strings but i don’t know about the rings.
    I’ll keep you in my bookmarks. thanks!

  184. krystal    May 23, 2012

    I just made these with Embroidery thread and it worked well. A very cheap alternative. Michaels sells that for .35 and I used and old washer for the connector. Michaels also sold things that could be used if you don’t like the industrial/antique look. I also used a heavier cord and and tiny old skeleton key. Im not very crafty but they were easy to make.

  188. Lisalou    May 26, 2012

    Love these and can’t wait to make them. I found a bunch of lovely connectors (like the pink crystal one) on Etsy.

  190. Donna Babylon    May 28, 2012

    This certainly brought back memories. I love these! I can’t wait to see if I still have the macramé gene. Thanks for sharing.

  193. DanielaDesigns    June 5, 2012

    Macrame was my first jewelry love! I turned to wire since the nylon cord didn’t hang well as a necklace, but this project turned me back on to this old macrame knot. You can find most of what you need on Fire Mountain Gems or Rio Grande (you have to buy a catalog..but it is one of the biggest sites to buy jewelry supplies!) under findings.

  194. Tanja    June 5, 2012

    i would also like to know where you find the centerpieces? I love the one that looks like bubbles or different size circles.

  195. Burgen    June 7, 2012

    Made some of these last night, they turned out super cute!!! My son and I made them for some of his little friends at school. We had a great time, they are really easy and the connectors we found at the local bead shop worked great!! Thanks for the tutorial!

  198. Trina    June 10, 2012

    Gaaaaa! Looove these. Walking to Michael’s for supplies in 3-2-1. Thanks.

  199. Hanan    June 11, 2012

    Once I saw these I placed an order :D
    They look amazing!
    And you can also use whatever you have instead of buying something new.
    I used pieces from old bracelets and necklaces and they turned out amazing!

    Thank you so much for sharing this with us <3

  200. Meghan    June 12, 2012

    OMG- that is soo amazing!!! I’ve always known how to the square-knot macrame thingy, but this is such a good idea!!!

  202. Indie    June 12, 2012

    I like everyone else, LOVE these bracelets. I’m on my second one now! I’m using hemp cording (only colors that I could find at Michaels :-/) I plan on ordering from the website you suggested. What colors did you use? Thanks again for the DIY tutorial!

  204. Kellie    June 14, 2012

    Does anybody make these and sell them…like you Erica ;) I need want and have to have them! Please say you know where I can buy them from!

  205. Sarah    June 15, 2012

    Love these so much! I never realized how easy they were to make – thanks for the inspiration and the tutorial!!

  206. gerrilyn    June 15, 2012

    where did you get the gemstone charm that you have on the coral bracelet? ive found all of the other supplies online but can’t find anything like that. let me know!

  211. Catherine    June 18, 2012

    I made something like this, and the knots were called Chinese knots. :3 I really like that small, coral-pink one you’re wearing.

  212. Kerrie    June 18, 2012

    I just made my first one but I couldn’t find the chinese knotting cord in my town. I used bamboo cord instead and looks pretty but was difficult to thread through the knots at the end. Does it make a big difference to use the Chinese knotting cord? If so I will order it from your linked website. Thanks so much for your great step by step tutorial!

  213. TheThriftHack    June 19, 2012

    I’m going to be traveling for 30 days, I’m going to use that time to teach myself how to do this. Ever since I saw this I’ve been hoarding little loops and things to make them.

  216. Jill    June 28, 2012

    What a fab tutorial, and they look fantatsic. I’ve never made anything like this and would love to give it a try.

  217. Joey    July 1, 2012

    Hi! Thank you so much for this easy-to-follow tutorial, I have never done this sort of knotting but you broke the process down into really easy steps, and I’ve just made my first bracelet, using waxed cotton cord. Last week I made an Olympics rings symbol with embroidery thread crocheted around five plastic rings, using this method: http://www.craftstylish.com/item/9676/how-to-make-a-crocheted-ring-bracelet , so I wanted a simple way to make it into a bracelet.
    Thank you again!

  218. Juli    July 2, 2012

    Gorgeous!!! I have to make these……immediately! A question; what size Chinese cord did you use? In millimeter size? Thanks!!! I can’t WAIT to start on these beauties.

  219. Jackie    July 2, 2012

    If you’re looking for crystal charms like that check etsy!!! I found similar ones!

  221. Christine    July 3, 2012

    Thank you- your tutorial is so clear, the photos are fabulous, and your bracelets are divine.

  224. Paula    July 6, 2012

    Oooo! So cool and hip! I am looking forward to making some of my own! :-)

  228. Racheal    July 11, 2012

    Absolutely love!! Will be doing this real soon!!! Thank you!!

  229. Afternoon Social    July 11, 2012

    Growing up my sisters and I would spend our summers making friendship bracelets for each other and our friends. I love this grown-up version and am looking forward to bringing the tradition back! Thanks for the great idea!

  230. Angela    July 11, 2012

    These bracelets are lovely. Have you ever tried making belts doing macrame? I used to make handbags, belts and bracelets doing macrame. It’s been a while since I’ve created something with macrame. You are very creative. Keep up the good works. :-)

  231. Jasmine    July 11, 2012

    i love your DIY tutorials they are truly an inspiration. I will definitely try some of these projects! Keep sharing!

  232. Laura    July 12, 2012

    Gracias Erica por las imágenes y las explicaciones!!!!
    Ha sido un tutorial muy útil.
    Gracias!!!! ;)

  233. Beth    July 12, 2012

    Love these bracelets, can’t wait to try these out. Great summer jewelry. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us!

  235. Krissy    July 13, 2012

    Love these. I am having a hard time finding the crystal charm on the third bracelet up the arm. Can you give me any suggestions? thanks!!

  236. Meri    July 14, 2012

    Finally finished a light blue one with the gold circle connector – oh my aching fingers! Had to quit several times because threading my needle was crazy hard. Turned out cute! thank you!

  237. haiely    July 15, 2012

    love the brclete and the charms in the middle so cool would the style work with normal floss thread?

  238. Heidi    July 17, 2012

    I remember as a teen, I could make one of these in literally 15-20 minutes, using necklace and earing charms from garage sale costume jewelry and hardware store cord! One of a kind bracelets for a few cents. Memories. Thank you!

  239. Heidi    July 17, 2012

    I highly recommend learning to make a macramé buckle, for the serious wearer.

  241. Dani    July 20, 2012

    excellent DIY! Can I please ask where is best to find nice quality slim connector rings like in the picture shown – I have looked onlinen and in a few craft shops, but either cannot find any, or else they appear bad quality. I am in the (uk) Thanks so much!:) x x x

  242. Allison    July 20, 2012

    Hi

    Great tutorial. Can’t wait to try it. Where can I find out how to make the peachy coloured bracelet in the main picture? The one with the gem stone? It looks different from all the rest.

    Thanks

  243. Maria    July 25, 2012

    Hello from Spain! I love all that you do.
    Where did you buy all the stuff that you use?
    Thanks for all that you show me ;)

  244. M.G.    July 27, 2012

    You don’t how long I had been looking for a tutorial on the subject. Many thanks.
    It is presented clearly and beautifully!

  247. juli    July 30, 2012

    just wondering what kind of cord was used for the charm with the stone in the middle. It looks thinner than the chinese knotting cord.

  249. Melanie Lisk    August 3, 2012

    Love your bracelets!! May I ask where you purchase the double ended charms and rings? Would love to make these for family and friends. My granddaughters & I love to do crafts together and these would be perfect!

  250. Carrie    August 4, 2012

    Oh wow, those bracelets are just gorgeous! I will definitely be bookmarking this, so I can try it myself later! Thanks so much for posting this.

    nice pictures and clear instructions. I always have a problem threading the end strings back through, but I love these bracelets so much, I’ll give it another go!

  253. debbi    August 5, 2012

    You could probably try vintaj.com or ornamentea.com for all the findings and bits and pieces.

  255. Marije    August 6, 2012

    AHHHHHH-maaaazing! Love this site, love love love the tutorials! …what size charms (little circles & the quartz jewel) were used for the macrame bracelets??

  264. Ida    August 23, 2012

    Hi! What do you call the pendant that looks like glass sort of? The one that isn’t gold!

  267. Katy    August 27, 2012

    Any jewelry making store should have charms and such like that. Those stores are everywhere and they could probably help with any questions that you have about the diy.

  268. Jennifer    August 27, 2012

    how do you keep the bracelet from turning on its self while making it? It’s really annoying! Am I making it too tight?

  270. Lsteele    August 29, 2012

    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Going out tonight to get suppies, no doubt:) SO MAKING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  271. Heidi    September 1, 2012

    Any chance you are selling bracelets like these? Or know where similar ones could be purchased?? Love them and would be the perfect gift for my friend and I just dont have the time to get supplies and make them! Thank you!!!

  274. Tracey    September 4, 2012

  275. Mandy    September 5, 2012

    LOVE these bracelets. Could you possibly tell me where you got your charms/circles? I would love to make these in silver. thanks

  277. Simone    September 12, 2012

    Great. Just made my first one. Made those when i was young but couldn’t remember how to make them. Thanks for the instruction!

  280. Nisa    September 23, 2012

    Hello, can I ask you which connector you have used ( 12mm, 19mm, 9mm or 16mm) ??
    hope I hear from you

  284. Mahnoor    October 16, 2012

    This is awesome! You’re so talented girl! Keep up the great work :) <3

  285. Robyn    October 19, 2012

    Can’t find the chinese cord locally. Have you ever used embroidery floss instead?

  287. Sarah    October 22, 2012

    How do u get ur knots so perfect?! Mine are either too loose or a limitless crooked. Some look gook good but then the next few look bunched. Am I tying them too tight or not tight enough or could it be that I used a different thread?

  288. debinny    October 22, 2012

    I just finished making one of these using a sterling silver bezel gemstone connector . I remember having a macrame kit as a kid, but I never mastered the craft. This tutorial was easy to follow. And the end result is so nice! Can’t wait to make more. (-:

    Thanks for posting!

  289. KymberliH    October 23, 2012

    Thanks for saying it was easy! I def want to try it this week but, was wondering if it was going to be easy to follow. =)

  293. Carol McMonagle    November 6, 2012

    I love these, and this was easy to follow. My only problem is getting the needle through to tie it off. What type/size needle are you using?

  294. Kate    November 14, 2012

    Thank you so much!! i used this to make flag bracelets for my group for model UN. it’s really easily explained and i made 4 in an hour!!

  296. ruth    November 19, 2012

    I just made my first one of these and love it so much! going to make them for christmas for my friends!

  297. Popi    November 21, 2012

  298. damola    November 27, 2012

    wow! this is very beautiful. i really really love it and i will surely do it also.

  299. yh    November 27, 2012

    I have a great question HOW DO I MAKE AMACRAME BRACELET WITHOUT THE IRNGS I DONT HAVE THOSE.I CAN’T BUY THEM, FOR I LIVE IN LOUISIANA!

  300. Erica    November 27, 2012

    @yh, you can make the macrame bracelet with any charm! as long as it has one or two holes…

  301. tina    December 6, 2012

    wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
    Its so beautifull
    I dont know how can I say but this are very good
    god help me I like make this

  310. Khadija    January 12, 2013

    Can you make these using embroidery floss instead of macarame?

  311. Erica    January 13, 2013

    @Khadija embroidery floss might not work sine it’s too thin and it would be difficult to have the knots be consistently spaced.

  313. Sara    January 18, 2013

    @Khadija I made one using embroidery floss, and it worked. It wasn’t TOO thin and the knots were spaced evenly and looked good. However, I got in the Chinese knotting cord that was recommended, and there is a BIG difference in quality. I like it so much better. It adds a shine and makes the bracelet a little sturdier.

  314. Marge Darkis-Phegley    January 18, 2013

    I love making these and yous are beautifull. I like to make them with a “dream catcher” center or design one to fit the customers requests, but i love the plane center ones you have designed. great tutorial also! Thanks for sharing.

  315. Bahari    January 19, 2013

    I love the macrame but it is very hard to finish! could you guys please explain it more simply?

    I love all your DIY

  317. anna    January 30, 2013

    thanks for the instructions! i made a bracelet with black hemp. it was very easy and fast and looks great!

  320. Salina    February 10, 2013

    Hi! Thank you so much for these instructions. I love your bracelets! I made one and my thread does not stay flat. I did use embroidery floss. Is it turning b/c it is too thin/lightweight. I am hoping to find some Chinese knotting cord today. Thanks again!!

  321. rosit    February 10, 2013

  322. andi    February 19, 2013

    Thanks so much for this tutorial, i can’t wait to try- looks amazing! Does anyone have any idea where i can find chinese knotting cord in the uk??

  323. Meeks    February 27, 2013

    I’m really enjoying making these, im using 0.8mm cord. After i finish the bracelet the ends stick out and looks kind of funny. Is there a way to fix it?

  325. Becki Moon    March 3, 2013

    I used to make macrame jewelry with hemp, wood beads, clay beads, in the 70s. They were way cool then! I love these updated versions & can’t wait to make them for my daughters & granddaughters!

  327. Betty    March 14, 2013

    I love these, like the other comments, I am going to have to try these, thanks for sharing

  329. Lulu    March 20, 2013

    Wow I have been searching for a well-done tutorial…found it thank you. Grand kids have been asking for those bracelets. Now I will make them, I will be voted the coolest grand-ma ahahah

  332. Chandra    March 27, 2013

    Did it using regular cord. Turned out great. Been wanting to learn this knot for a long time. The adjustable clasp is a wonderful touch because I have tiny wrists and I hate when bracelets shift around. Definately gonna make a to of these to accessorize and gift. Thank you.

  338. Ashley Farrier    April 14, 2013

    Hi u saw this DIY on Pinterest and recently I learned how to do the knotting. But I have a question, where did you get those charms from, because I have been looking for them and I can’t find anything similar anywhere. If you could help me out please do. Thanks :)

  341. jessie    May 7, 2013

    love this! totally trying it. I have a connector ring similar to that which I’ve been dying to use in a project.

    Finally! If you accept that Obama will also provide $4 billion retooling tax credits and loan guarantees for domestic automobile plants and parts manufacturers, so that the new fuel efficientcars can be made in the U.S. by domestic workers instead of overseas.
