Friendship Bracelets...Popular Again

Vintage friendship bracelts by cute&useful circa, um, some time ago. And now, I can't resisit a favorite Pixar quote, "Tell me Ambruster...how can it be...POP-ular? Well, they're colorful, and kids are wearing them again. They've popped up like early daffodils all over the web. Do you remember friendship bracelets? Remember making them? Still remember your favorite patterns and colors?

Which are your favorites? Any you want to try? I had a backlog of "orders" the summer of '89, all requested in various patterns and variations of "Bluecoat Blue" (I marched Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps from 1988-1991). I never finished my orders. I still feel bad about that.

Maybe I can catch up now.
