To save time on making friendship bracelets I like to alphabetize the beads and then I used these bead tray from John Bead to catch all my beads. This helps the beads from rolling all over the table and helped me when I had to make bracelets at an event at a restaurant the night before a concert.
Here is the giant bracelet that was traded from stadium to Stadium. It was a trek to get to it, but such a cute sign. I even made bracelets later based on the sign.
Here are all the bracelets I traded for the ones I made. I brought TTPD bracelets and some bracelets I had repurposed from other concerts that had Taylor lyrics on them. Sadly I did not get pictures of those because it all went so quickly. All in all I was able to have about 60 bracelets in 2 days for the concert. I do not recommend making so many bracelets so fast in that short amount of time, but I have some tips that will definitely save some time with making bracelets.
The supplies I used for these bracelets include:
- Stretch Magic string
- Letter beads
- Glass beads
- Clay beads
- Gold accent beads
- Super Glue
- Scissors
- Song list
- John Bead Tray

The first thing that I did to make these TTPD bracelets was visit Michaels. I had a theme I wanted to go by, white, off white, black, gray and gold and needed some beads to fit my theme. I had not bought the strand beads before, but I discovered them at Creativation and feel in love with them. They are a higher quality bead and the beads bead faster than some of the alternatives.
I feel in love with these iridescent white beads.
Here is another strand of clay beads I was inspired by. I love the messy look of the beads. No pattern at all, but color themed.
Here is my collection of beads I used to make the TTPD bracelets.
Here are all the letters I used. The gold lettered ones and square ones are in the background. I love the plain black and white beads for these theme.

Some of these beads were pretty smaller and I had to use a smaller string. I used stretch magic string, it comes in different sizes. It does not stay tied very well. I had to use super glue to make keep the bracelet together. I let it dry for a few minutes.
Then I was able to cut it and the string ends were not very visible. Even though the stretchy cloth string is faster and can be tied easier I prefer this method because the ends look nicer.
Here are all the bracelets I made. I do realize that I did not do "How Did It End" and did two "I Hate It Here's". Which one is your favorite?
I am so glad that I was able to go to the concert and had bracelets to take with me. It was an unforgettable evening.
This was one of the last Eras Tour there ever was. I really hope Taylor Swift decides to tour again and I will be ready with more bracelets. Which album should I do bracelets for next?
