OsGOD 3 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 You're doing good so far. Braiding is really just weaving each strand under and over each other. Once you get the hang of it, it will be really easy. But in all honesty, just because i braided mine, doesn't mean you have to braid yours. do whatever you want, you could sit there with two strands and just use them to tie knots over and over again. You raised the bar... it has to be braiding or nothing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Just get yourself some 6 gauge wire. You won't be able to braid it. Of course, by the end of the playoffs, you won't be able to lift your hand either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a good strength conditioning exercise... you have a few days in between each addition to get used to the new weight. although you will have to work on the the other two or else you will have only 1 gun show ticket... and that might look a bit funny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut22 81 Report post Posted April 6, 2008 Bumping this thread up so it doesn't get lost in the mix. I used a braided chain technique to make the bracelets a little thicker since I need mine to be stronger than a single string with where I work. One of each is made for Thursday night's game. Hopefully on Friday I will be making another red one. LET THE PLAYOFF'S BEGIN!!! haha I braided mine as soon as I got them last weekend haha great minds think alike!

Krystal 41 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Brilliant! Now I need to go buy the alphabetic beads from Michaels... Hooray for having Tuesday off! Maybe I can make something for my little one too, she's going to be very disappointed when the season is over. She'll need something like a bracelet or a necklace too. ^.^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Great article on the page. Katie Evans has got a cute picture up and her idea out. I will also say the article for Lids in the running for Norris doesn't speak of Chara which is his top compettion IMO. Make sure you get lots of pictures of a 16 string dealie. Let's go Wings!

I posted it over on the hockeytown forums, over off of the official wings site, and have picked up a few more followers over there. It will be interesting to see how it picks up as soon as we start actually wearing the bracelets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
