[Nfb-krafters-korner] ideas for a bracelet

[Gary Brewer]

Hi Annet

Thanks for the info. Wow, I don't get hat many points. Lol  I think the two
wires for the units and tens would help with the little ring of beads.  I
was trying with one wire of points beads and a loop for them to pass
through.

I will get busy.

Look into an abacus bracelets.  There are a few websites that sell them.  A
couple of years ago, Joyce had made a few to sell for the division or
something like that.  You could count up to 99.  It was made of 2 wires,
each with 10 beads on it.  One set of 10 beads are smaller then the other.
There is an elastic loop with beads around it that circle around the 2 wires
with the beads on it.  You slide the individual beads through the loop.  One
of the strands of beads are each worth one point, and the other strand of
beads are each worth 10.  So each time you slide a "1" bead through the loop
you are adding one more to your count.  Once you have slid all 9 beads
through the loop you push them back through the loop to the other side and
then slide a "10" bead through the loop.  This represents 10 points.  Now
each time you slide a "1" bead through the loop, you will be counting from
11 to 19.  Keep repeating this and you can count up to 99.  I'm thinking
that if you add a third wire with a different type of bead then what is on
the other 2 wires you could count up to 999.

Hi Group,

I am trying to make a points bracelet for Weight Watchers.  I want to put
beads for the points I get each day and be able to move them past something
to keep track of whatI eat each day.

 

Does anyone have an idea?
