These colourful, thread-wrapped bracelets may remind you of the friendship bracelets you made in arts and crafts, but really their hand-crafted feel is more exotic bazaar than summer camp. From the thread wrapped pieces by celeb-favourite Amrita Singh who combines traditional Indian techniques with a modern eye, to braided and woven pieces combined with gold, these say global traveler not will you remember me after the summer. So if you can't make it to an exotic market to shop, you can at least pretend.

From left to right, top to bottom: Amrita Singh Threaded Bangle Set (US$100.00); Aurélie Bidermann Do Brazil 18-k Gold-Plated Bracelet (US$440.00); Amrita Singh Vanessa Earrings (US$20.00 sale); Madewell Wanderlust Angkor Friendship Bracelet (US$12.00); American Eagle Outfitters Friendship Bracelet Set (C$12.18); Chan Luu Threaded Coral Wrap Bracelet (US$195.00); Forever21 Bangles (C$9.80); Ettika Red Braided Bracelet (US$55.00); Amrita Singh Nissa Bangle Set (US$100.00)

Honestly...WTF (http://honestlywtf.com/) has some great instructions to recreate a number of the bracelets shown (and a few classic summer camp-esque friendship bracelets too).

Not that I am particularly talented, but when you're talking about something you would likely make during summer camp I don't feel right about paying $100 for these bracelets... even if they'd look 1000x better than anything I could recreate.
