The Inspiration...

This DIY is very simple but a very creative concept.
The basic idea is a bracelet which says something through morse code. The one I found on Pinterest says sister and the one I made says love. I personally think this would be an amazing friendship bracelet. Both could say best friends or one could say best and the others say friends. It's also very customizable with the type of beads and string you use. I think this would also make a good necklace.
What You'll Need:
String, I used thread but embroidery floss hemp cord or any kind of chain works
Scissors
Beads, a round one and a longer one. The round ones are the short morse code beep and the longer ones are the short morse code beeps (if that wasn't apparent already).
The first thing to do is to cut your string. I would recommend twice around your wrist so you have extra room (if you're doing a bracelet).
Make sure to tie a knot on one end so that your beads don't fall off. I had to tie mine lots of times so that my beads wouldn't fall off.
Then put your beads on. Here is a morse code translator. You type in what you want your bracelet (or necklace) to say and it will show you what it is in morse code. I'm sure there are other ones to but I personally like the one above.
And you're done. if you want your beads to stay in the middle I would recommend tying knots on either side of the bracelet ( or necklace).
I think this is an adorable idea Although I don't think using thread was the right choice for me. I might try again with embroidery floss but I do enjoy the delicateness of the one I made.
If you try feel free to send it to me on Pinterest. I would love to see it. Make sure to make it your own.
P.S. If you're having trouble threading your beads on your string supposedly putting glue on the end of you string and then letting it dry will help. (I haven't personally done this but my crafting friend loves it.)
