This is such an easy and fun way to make someone smile, remind them of their worth, or to tell them about God and how much he loves them!
These bracelets are single handedly changing our life and humbling us in a way I wasn't aware a bracelet could...but that's the thing about God, it doesn't have to make sense and most of the time I dont think it will make sense. God has the biggest and best plans for our lives, and I'm here to tell you, he can and will show up in larger than life ways in your life, it just takes a little courage, bold prayers, a whole lot of faith and complete surrender to your own ideas and plans.
We want to encourage you to make these at home and hand it out to people. Ideas on who to give them to:
Friends
Components at sporting events
Parents/grandparents
Food service workers while you're going through the drive through, or sitting down in a restaurant
People at your church
Random people while you're shopping
Anyone!!
How to make the Fabric bracelets:
Supplies (ALL LINKS ARE AFFILIATE):
Ribbon or cut fabric-here's some of our favorite ribbon from amazon:
Fringe Natural Cotton Ribbon-These are my favorite but they are more expensive. I like the colors: nude and beige, baby blue, and green!

Chiffon silk ribbon-this is bigger rolls of 3 and more specific colors
Chiffon Silk Ribbon-these are small rolls, so don't be fooled but you can make 4-5 with each roll and you get a lot of colors!

Cotton Ribbon-We love this too!! It is harder for kids, though
Army Green
Khaki
Beige

My organization skills are bad, forgive me! These rolls come with SO much!
Satin ribbon-this is super easy for kids and cute!

Retro colorful ribbon-this is so much fun and even brighter when you get it in the mail!

This ribbon is so bright and fun, but it is more expensive and comes with less colors!
Grosgrain Ribbon-this is cheap, great quality and you get so many colors!

Beads
You will want the square letter beads with bigger holes! If you have the circle beads already with the smaller holes This ribbon will work with those: https://amzn.to/3Xj1xFM
White beads, black lettering (the color letter O's are just what I've added, they are NOT include when you buy them)
I like this set because it gives you more of the letters you will use and less of the ones you don't.

White beads, Gold lettering

White beads, colored letters

Gold Beads (I had to sort my own)

How to Make Fabric Bracelets:
Step 1: cut your ribbon like this:

Step two: slide the bead on the ribbon pulling it through (use tweezers to pull through if needed)

Step 3: tie knots to make sure the bead stays

Step 4: Keep some for your wrist and pass others out to make people smile
Take it a step further
We have written this poem as way to try and start a "ripple" of God's love.
The poem reads (written by my 10 year old):
From me to you
I will give you two
One to give and one keep
Spreading God’s love is no small feat
Wear this bracelet and wear it proud
Not forgetting to pass the other out
Let God’s light shine through
And when in doubt
Always remember that Gods got you
Here's how we have decided to hand these out (Use our idea or think of your own)
