Embroidery Thread Friendship Wraps

I’m not a bling and glitz kind of girl, but I do love jewelry. Particularly bracelets. About 2 years ago I just started piling every single leather, string, and cloth bracelet I own on one wrist. Since then it has grown almost out of control. Unfortunately these bracelets have to be taken off once in awhile for formal occasions etc., ugh. So I decided to make these long friendship bands that just wrap to give the illusion of numerous thread bangles. To add a little sparke I put on a gold bead every 40 knots on the one above and some charms on the one below. I just used a standard twist knot to create both of these.
