Can I be your friend?






About two years ago I spent about four months working in a summer camp in the states. As well as all the friends and amazing experiences I came away with (gag i know but it's true) I also left camp with a new skill. Im still not quite sure what the correct terminoligy is for my new skill is but in layman's terms, Im now a bad-ass friendship bracelet maker.
When you're at camp it's all about how many bracelets you have, your contantly making them and developing your skills as a bracelet maker. Needless to say I became quite skilled at the craft of bracelet making.... Ok so thats a lie but I totally would have if I had the patience and attention span to see it through, I still have bad-ass skills but im just a bit to useless to put them to good use.
Someome who did put here skills to good use though is Kate Miss, a New York City native she has created these beautiful woven necklaces which she says were inspired by the friendship bracelets of her childhood.
You can purchase your very own here but be quick, she only makes a limited number at the beginning of each season so you can be sure they sell out quick.
