How to make button bracelets!

I started making button bracelets in 5th grade, and I've loved making things out of buttons for my friends, family and for me ever since. Lots of people are always asking me how I make button bracelets. Well, I'm going to show you how. It's not hard at all!


You will need:
buttons
Stretch Magic bead and jewelry cord (5 meters)
scissors


Step 1: Pick out some cool buttons!
Step 2: Cut the cord pretty long
Step 3: Weave the jewelry cord into two holes
Step 4: Repeat this step with all your buttons
Step 5: Put your bracelet around your wrist. If you were to tie it, does it fit?
Step 6: Make knot
Step 7: Cut extra cord
Step 8: Wear, and enjoy!

My new favorite band!

There is a new boy band, called The Wanted. They are British-Irish, and they are soo funny, and really good singers! Their music videos I really like, because they are always singing somewhere new...on a different set. My favorite song by them is called All Time Low. Here is a link to it.

The Wanted members are: Jay, Nathan, Tom, Siva, and Max. The Wanted makes funny YouTube videos that always make me laugh! They dance, make jokes, and just play around while filming. Here is a link to their awesome YouTube channel. If you like the bands Vertical Horizon, or Owl City you will LOVE The Wanted.

What am I reading?

Lately, I have been reading some really great books! I wanted to tell you about a few. The first one is called This is Me From Now On, which is a great book about a girl who becomes friends with her neighbor, who is really outgoing and funny. At first, the main character isn't so sure about her new neighbor, but throughout the book they really get to know each other, and become good friends.


Another book I read that I liked was called Lucky T. It's about a girl who is in highschool, and has a t-shirt that she believes give her good luck. One day, her mom accidently donates it to a charity that goes to India! And what do you think Carrie, the main character does? She runs after it, heading to India.

These are some really great books for teenagers. Check them out!
