These patterns can be used as bracelets, earrings, keychain decorations, bookmarks, headbands, and more depending on length and width of pattern. As you get more skilled at making these, you can make all kinds of themed patterns like Christmas, Halloween, characters, words, and more. The embroidery floss used as the main supply item can be purchased quite cheaply.
