These bracelets take about a whole 10 minutes and you shouldn't be getting to frusterated in the process

First measure your wrist. Add about one inch to this measurement. This length will be the length will be the longer part of your rectangle. My wrist is about 7 inches. So i used 8. My wrists are tiny. So you may want to just measure your own.
Measure out a rectangle using your wrist measurement as the long way. Make the width about 4 inches long.
Take your rectangle to your sewing machine. Fold over one edge about one centimeter (Half and inch)on the long side. This does not have to be exact but, try to make it as straight as possible.Then sew. You can use pins if you'd like. Do the same thing to the other side of your rectangle.
Turn your rectangle to the short side. Fold over the edge as small as you can get it. About a quarter inch should do.Then sew. Do this to the other side as well.
Go back to the long way an fold over your already sewn fold. Sew your new fold down and repeat to the other side.
You should now have something that looks like this. Fold it in half.
Sew close to the edge. Your result will be a slightly twisted strap of fabric with many strings of thread.
Cut off the strings. Preferably with a better pair of scissors then mine.
Get your velcro. I just use the cheap stuff you can buy for a dollar at Jo Ann's
Cut off a small section and trim off a bit. Your going to want the fatter piece to fit on your fabric strap with out over lapping the fabric.
Cut a smaller square about one centimeter
Pin one velcro square to one end of your strap. You can use a pin or you an try your luck with out the pin.
Sew your square down. Go around the square once and across once or twice
Flip your strap over and repeat step 13 on the opposite side.
Try it on an decorate as your please
WALLA! Super awesome bracelet.
