I've had a box of strings ever since I was a little. I would get excited in Walmart over the DMC embroidery floss. I was never really good at making bracelets as a child though and I got bored easily (ADHD?) So, my strings were just a tangled treasure that I held onto. Thankfully, I've improved in all areas. 😆 I don't make a lot of intricate designs or patterns though because of the time vs. cost issue.
Companies who outsource to countries where they can get away with paying an unfair wage have led people to believe a little cord bracelet should cost a few dollars. I have to bridge the gap with designs that are simple enough to be affordable but still beautiful (for what it is - a cord bracelet - not fine jewelry). I'm also a minimalist in every thread of my soul so it works out! 💗✨
