This kid at my yoyo club made some yoyos string bracelets. I am wearing a yellow highlight one I made right now.

Though, yours are a hell of a lot cooler than both of ares!

Buy some key rings from your local hardware store and add them to the end. I bet you could sell them in the BST.

It is braided, im not sure what technique she used or how she gets it consistent.  This was just the string I had laying around to add to my string ball, I thik she is going to start unraveling that soon though...guess i need to start burning through more string

Have her create an account on here. Have her sell them. I would donate a bunch of dead strings. And I second the key ring idea. I would buy like, 10.

Hey everyone. This is the gf. Lol. I made two different key ring designs. One is just like a keychain and one I made so that it could be used as a yoyo holder. I'm going to post pics (as soon as he teaches me how lol). The one I made like a yoyo holder, I think I'm going to have to use a different kind of key ring though. Maybe a carabiner or something easier to attach to belt loops or yoyo cases or whatever. Please send some feed back as to what ya'll would like to see. Pics to come.
 
Oh yeah, anyone who would like to donate some dead string, feel freeee to email. Cheesy  Grin

i will donate some string. let me keep throwing a lot so i can accumulate enough. right now i dont have that much because i was throwing them all away...but recently ive been keeping them in a pile. all ill have is pink and green i think, maybe some purple. ill have to see how much can fit in an envelope Smiley but if i gave you, lets say, a 5 dollar bill in the envelope, could you make me one? Smiley

i can macrame i little, but im not sure what you did, you make good ones.

I'm working on one right now with a carabiner and I'm going to post pics of the ones I've made. I usually use 4 strings but I can do up to 6. The more strings the wider the bracelet. If I do 4..2 different colors it gives it the 1.2.1.2.1.2 pattern but if I use 4 different ones it gives it the 1.2.3.4.1.2.3.4.  pattern and so on. If you lemme know what colors and what pattern you'd like I will def make it. Lemme know what kind you want after I post pics.

ok, i really wouldnt prefer any one color over another. here in a few days, when my pile is a little bigger ill send it to you. i actually just went to see what i have and i have a lot more colors than expected...heres what ill send...
1 blue
1 gray
3 orange
a lot of pink
a lot of green (they are my two favorite, except green isnt that good anymore. youll prolly get a lot of pink from me.
possibly purple (if i feel like playing with it, it sucks..)

Okay, so here's what I have got so far. The original keychain, the keyring yoyo holder, and the carabiner yoyo holder. I'm going to use a dot of hot glue to keep the stray ends down but can't find the glue gun. Please send feed back for any changes you'd like to see. Thanks!! Cheesy
