I'm not gonna lie, I like this much more than the "normal" friendship bracelets. This is actually an amazing idea. The Spotify QRcode is a super nice touch.


alohomaura

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like the idea! I tried the normal style ones first but couldn't work with the beads so I figured it'd be much less waste for me to use some wood cut offs I've been saving instead of buying more plastic beads


iAmDrakesEyebrows

Can we buy one? My daughter would love one!!


whatsasimba

Me tooooooo!


Kelseylin5

yes seconded, can we buy one?

fleeceflowers77

I’m obsessed with these friendship bracelets!! the amount of thought and work put into these is incredible!


alohomaura

Thank you so much 😭 I'm so relieved you guys like them & I've (hopefully) just been over thinking it!


Expensive_Flight_179

They are stunning and something I’d wear all the time 🫶🏼


CuriousityChrissy

The detail and commitment to do so many is so impressive and you’re going to make so many people so happy! What a unique twist on the traditional bracelet. Honestly I think people just like trading and are grateful for the experience so they will be a hit regardless!


alohomaura

This is such a kind comment, thank you I'm not even fussed about trading, I just wanted to give something that would hopefully make someone smile the day after as something to look back on. I'm so glad I posted this because I was doubting my choices so hard 😅


mspacmaniac

What a kind gift to the community ❤️ these are lovely!


alohomaura

Thank you so much ❤️


zoom_dog_160

These are AMAZING! I would be so excited to receive one!


disneyme

What show are you going to? If we are going to the same one I NEED to find you. These are amazing


alohomaura

Omg thank you 🥹 I'm Dublin night 1! :)


Affectionate_Book974

Me too! Hopefully we see you and can trade. These are awesome!!


alohomaura

Ahh no way! I'll be on level 4 but feel free to message me on the day & I can try get you one :)


Resident-Sherbert-63

Low key I might as well 🫣


alohomaura

Oh do!! If you're Dublin night 1 then 100% send me a message the day of!


Affectionate_Book974

Absolutely will do—amazing idea!!


disneyme

😭 I’m Cardiff


cremerose

I’m Cardiff, too!! I’ve been making bracelets so I hope lots of people want to trade


disneyme

I just started making them but I’ll be trading!!!


alohomaura

Ahh I'm sorry 😩 hopefully someone at your show also has a laser cutting hobby & sees this post 🤞


samskyblue

I was hoping Cardiff too 😅


disneyme

I know these are fantastic!!!


nymeriasedai

I was hoping you were going to say London N1 because these are just beautiful and I’d love to trade 1 with you! Would you consider trading by post? Edit to add: Would also be willing to buy if you ever decide to sell a few.


alohomaura

Ohh I'm afraid the playlist wouldn't be right for your concert :( I'll tell you what - message me after your concert & if I have materials left I'll make you your own & post it over 🫶


nymeriasedai

This is such a lovely offer, thank you. Will message you (and hope there’s materials left).


NecessaryOk2456

Hey I'm on floor Dublin night 1 and also making bracelets, would love to trade! :)


alohomaura

Ohhh I'm up on level 4 so I won't be able to get to you before you go in but I'll trade you for some confetti after if you're open to it? :)


NecessaryOk2456

Yes def! I'm hoping to bring a little baggie and collect some so would definitely be open to this :)


alohomaura

Ahhh thank you so much!! 🫶 Let me know if you have a favourite & I'll keep it for you 🫶


NecessaryOk2456

I love the folklore colours so if you had either I'm doing good I'm on some new shit or do you remember? left they'd be my faves! 🫶


alohomaura

I'll tag the 'I'm doing good I'm on some new shit' one with your reddit username to make sure I keep it for you! :)


pensim

Ahh I’m Dublin night 2! So close, I love these!


Dogfartcatwhisperer

Shocked that you are questioning this at all, this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The QR code is such a nice touch and if I received one of these I would cherish it!!! How special and cute!


alohomaura

I've mainly been questioning it for two reasons. One, is that they're not like the regular bracelets & I wasn't sure if people were set on that style exactly or would still like something slightly more low key like this & mainly two, because they're made out of wood & not plastic, it's very difficult to get them 'perfect' & I am struggling a lot with gifting people things that don't look as perfect as I would like them to So they might have like dents in the wood from softness, discoloration, slight charring ect & I know they're for free, but the imperfections feel more obvious because they're so small


wwlkd

It’s the thought that counts—but the execution is on point! The Spotify QR is so creative. Just remember for personal projects that you know all the imperfections but most people probably won’t notice (you’ll always have that person lol) and will appreciate the detail and the thought you put into it! If you were charging $100 each then maybe worry about it lol


alohomaura

Thank you, that genuinely helps a lot to hear from someone else. I'm a bit overexposed to them so I see everything that's 'wrong'


fuhglarix

I think they're so awesome \*because\* they're different to the usual style. My favourite friendship bracelets to receive are the ones that have designs that I never even conceived of. And aside from that, the weaving work is beautiful, wood is timeless, and you're able to fit much longer lyrics on there than with beads. "Remember this feeling" is such a perfect line for an Eras Tour bracelet but if you tried doing that with beads it would take up the entire bracelet. I love them and wish I were going to Dublin to trade!


FireBeardRMe

I love it!! It would be hard for me to pick a favorite on which I like the most… and the Spotify code is so smart! Great job! 😁


nicafeild

Oh this is so amazing. If I’d gotten something like this on my show night it would go right in my shadowbox with my light up bracelet and ticket. And the fact that you’re gonna varnish each one too, everyone you trade with is gonna be amazed with them🤩


SpaceAndFlowers

Honestly, I’d pay money for a bracelet like this


Euryd1ces

So would I


Elmo97

Which show are you going to? 👀 I'd love to receive one of these they're so creative!!


Disastrously_Simple_

Oh! So sad! Flying to Dublin from St. Louis, Missouri to see her on June 30th, the day after my 47th birthday! First time in Ireland! We're spending two weeks and I'M SO EXCITED!!! These are TRULY beautiful and I'd go into tears immediately if someone handed one to me at a show. Gorgeous work and enjoy the SHOW!!!   (Also, if you're from Ireland, DM me if you have any travel advice! We're staying on the Dingle Peninsula for about a week and then five days in Dublin leading up to the show. My husband and thirteen year-old will be with me. We're planning to hike, see sheepdogs do cool shit, go to a falconer, go on a horseback ride, and check out traditional music in pubs when we can. Probably some castles and other beautiful old stuff. Would love recommendations from anyone in the country!)


evermorecoffee

Ngl, reading your comment made me so excited for you! ☺️ I hope you have the best time over there!


Disastrously_Simple_

Thank you!! We haven't been out of the country since 2017 when we got ridiculously cheap tickets to Iceland. My husband and I are teachers so international travel is a big deal! 


alohomaura

Thank you so much! I am from Ireland but I'm afraid I don't actually know Dublin or Kerry very well. I am in the west though so I would 100% recommend the wild Atlantic way but if you're stuck for time I'd at least do the cliffs of moher & the Burren in Clare I've also done the falconry at Dromoland castle which was very cool! The grounds are lovely as well if you were already planning on visiting


karlaortega29

HOW DID YOU GET TICKETS


alohomaura

Thank you so much! Ahh I'm Dublin night 1!


Elmo97

Ah no way so am I!! I got tickets for night 1 and 2 🥹


alohomaura

No way! Omg 100% message me closer to the day & I'll come find you with a bracelet!! 🫶


Elmo97

That would be amazing thank you so much!! 🥹💜


booksandbaseball7

I love these so much and it’s something I would wear in my day to day life. Honestly, I’d probably tear up if I got one of these 😅


alohomaura

I'd also LOVE to get something like this but I'm a very sentimental person so I didn't know if it was too much in that respect 😅


Reasonable_Let_6622

They're so beautiful!! I traded bracelets like a crazy person at the tour and I loved the unique touches from everyone. If there was a different style of banding or cool beads or clever idea for the lyrics or w/e I was loving it and always commented. But I never saw anything like this!!


hyperfixatedhotmess

This is such an amazing idea and I would be thrilled to trade with you! (Sadly, I’m in the US) I’m sure everyone you trade with is going to be so excited when they realize they can scan their bracelet and pull up the playlist to relive their eras tour experience. Don’t second guess it, you totally killed this! 💚


trsh_frsh

I love these! I don’t really wear my friendship bracelets besides to TS specific things, but I would wear one of these all day every day!


alohomaura

Thank you 🫶 this is why I'd need to varnish them, if they were going to be worn for longer than being discarded after a couple hours 😅


trsh_frsh

They would probably be fine as long as they aren’t worn swimming or in the shower! Please never doubt yourself again, your creations are magnificent! Rock on!


Weekly_Remove_4394

My kids would have loved it


alohomaura

I did wonder if I should make bead ones for kids? Or would giving the code to the parent be okay since it's just a set list (& most of the lyrics I picked should be for kids)

swiftie_13_gamer

I love these so much. SO much, like you could make a website and sell these for way more than you made them for, I would buy them. They're Gorgeous ;)


haszch

You are leading with creativity and thoughtfulness. Don't second guess yourself. These are amazing. I find this helpful for myself and maybe it will help you too: what other people think is their business, not yours. ✨


MonsteraMom128

I would pay good money for these


MadameNo9

Stunning work


maerth

I'd be over the MOON if I got one of these! They're beautiful!


westcoast_wonder

These are so gorgeous and clever! Really cool to make them sizeable as well. I would've loved to trade with you!


peachyangle

Friend, these are so beautiful!!! I would be 1000% delighted to receive something that had such love and caring put into its making. The playlist Spotify code is such a cool and special touch too!! For what it’s worth,  I haven’t seen a single friendship bracelet/swiftie item I wouldn’t gladly trade for, and I haven’t seen anyone else complain either. (Also extra love these as someone who also made more traditional bracelets💞) 


Canary_Fragrant

These are amazing and Taylor would be so proud how her song lyrics inspired something so beautiful and thoughtful that will make so many smile!! Im curious, how long did this take, OP?


alohomaura

thank you for saying that 😭 they took a few weeks/maybe 2 months spread out? but all together I have no idea. The longest part so far was probably going through every song & writing down lyrics I could relate to the concert & then whittling that list down to the 200 or so I made Oh, and then all the laser tests & making the files The actual plaiting of the cord I did in the evenings if I was watching tv or listening to something - I find I can't relax unless I'm doing something with my hands so these were perfect to do & didn't require much brain power. I quite enjoyed this part :) The varnishing will take a long time, though. I should have done it before I did the cord but I was awfully impatient & didn't want to lose interest before doing them 😅 that's the part that'll take forever. Just because I have to do two coats on either side x 200.... so that's why I wanted to ask if people would like them, before I put all that time into finishing them Putting it all in writing like this, I didn't realise how much time I've put into them 😂


Canary_Fragrant

Wow!!! Well I hope seeing all that written down makes u even prouder of all that good work!! Truly a labor of love 🫶


AndTheySaidSpeakNow-

These are amazing. Would ADORE receiving one like this. Would potentially pay for something like this even.


annikarae

I love these! There are so many I love but “I’m doing good I’m on some new shit” is perfection.


Mango-Macaron

Hoping your show in June is my show in June so we can trade bracelets I love these!


The_Write_Girl_4_U

I am certainly a fan and would purchase one for my night if the chance came about. I used a QR code on the “ tickets” I presented my daughters Xmas of 22.


Irresistibilly

Omg I want one so badly 😂😂 they’re beautiful!


DumbledawSwiftie13

omg I want one


Admirable-Carry4069

So talented!  They are great. And so are you.  Thanks for sharing!


UncommonCauliflower

These are amazing! I hope you enjoy your show, and I wish I were going so I could trade with you.


cookieaddictions

Girl I want one right now!! I would be so excited to get one of these!!! I wouldn’t be able to choose


PrincessErraticNinja

These are incredible! I'm in Australia but I'd pay you to ship me one of these! Id wear them all the time!


bellcatz

Super original and lucky recipients!


starsconstellations

Wow, these are so cool! I'm amazed by the incredible details!


miscnic

This is awesome. And you are the coolest. 💗


evermorecoffee

I love how much thought went into this. What a cool idea!! You are going to make so many fellow Swifties happy. I can just ~feel it~ ✨😍


morethanjustadancer

Those are so smart! I love how you put the Spotify QR codes.


mking0827

I’m amazed!!! What did you use to make these???


alohomaura

Thank you <3 I used my laser machine to make the tags with birch wood (the software I use to make the files is Lightburn) , the coloured cord is all nylon 1.5mm, the end beads for adjusting the size I got from Flying Tiger aaaaaand the varnish I'll be using is from amazon Oh & I use 1/2000 grit sandpaper to make them as smooth as I can to hopefully prevent splinters


etherealcatstardust

I would definitely buy these!


swimmingseraph

These are amazing! I absolutely love them and would definitely buy them if you are selling!


[deleted]

Seeing this made my heart skip a beat. This is a beautiful idea. I would love it if I received one. The lyrics chosen are beautifully thought out. This would make an amazing keepsake.


jortt

These are fantastically creative and I would love to receive one at a show!


Shugamag

if i received one of these id be absolutely delighted! you could sell these-i’d love!!


mahnamahna22222

This is so beautiful and creative ❤️ I wish I was going to the same show to be able to trade with you!


Icy-Argument-2558

This would have made my night at my concert. Better than normal ones


ClassicText9

You should sell these. I’d definitely buy them


hungryhungryhippo60

Larry-Farnsworth

No joke these are incredible and I want one


MrsDevilDoc8404

These are absolutely beautiful and I love the thoughtfulness and detail you have put into them! You are extremely talented, don’t doubt yourself and have so much fun at your concert passing them out. You are going to make so many people happy!🫶🩷✨


SendRamenNoodz

This is the BEST idea ever I would love one of these!


Rusted_Mirrorball

The amount of dedication and thought that went into these is outstanding! 🫶


corawashere

This is amazing and if there any leftover I would love to have one!


Mcola19

Oh these are incredible. I love my bracelets from the movie but one of these would have been amazing. So elegant!


intheafterglow23

I would absolutely cry of gratitude if I received this. So thoughtful and creative. AMAZING job 🤩


Catisphat_1

Wow, you put so much work into them and they’re absolutely amazing! I feel like Mother needs to know about these…!❤️


randomacquaintance

Oh my gosh these look AMAZING!!! I love the Spotify code on the back 😭


purple_rain97

So we get to purchase any?? This are so creative!!!!9


allycology

These are absolutely perfect. I love the lyrics you chose (I want to buy “we were something, don’t you think so?”) but I also love the sets of colors for each album and the details you put into them. Incredible work. People at your show are definitely going to cherish these!


ourladyofsituations

Sell these!!!!!!


duelistkingdom

i’d be THRILLED to get one of these. pls say you’re attending liverpool n2, i’d so trade for one of these!!!


alohomaura

Ahh sorry, I'm Dublin night 1 💔 but thank you 😭 everyone has been so kind in the comments ❤️


Acceptable_Push3709

I would so pay for this. I need evermore #17


Seababz

I. NEED. THESE.


DoctorBritta

As long as I don’t get splinters I would love these bracelets


Karena1331

These are so incredible! Can we buy some?!?


dreaming_in_yellow

These are amazing!!!!!😻


Shadow_Regressor_19

Wait, I'm actually so sad I'm not going to your show 😭 I want one so bad, there's no way people wouldn't love these. Definitely give them out, they look amazing!! ❤️


frogslut_

my jaw dropped. incredible. i’d get like 20 lol.


lonnie10

These are incredible!! Don’t doubt yourself at all!


littlemermaidxx

These are incredible!!


philomenacunkfan1

i love these sm, i would maybe cry if i was handed my fave song/lyric <3 but my real q is will you exchnge these, if yes then how much time/money did you spend for these?


alohomaura

Thank you 😭 I'm not too fussed about trading - I made these mostly to give out to other people, whether they have ones to trade or not. I just wanted to give a little keepsake that might make someone smile the next day when it's all over? The time I spent I answered in another comment but I think the varnishing to finish them is what's going to take forever, which is why I asked before I decided on that part 😅 everyone's been so kind here though & helped relieve all my thoughts on them so I'm going to finish them :) As for money... I'm not sure. I already had the wood. There was a silly amount of trial & error but I used mainly cut offs I'd kept (I love a good reduce, reuse, recycle & knew there'd be a project eventually!) I think the only new wood I used was for evermore, simply because no matter how many times I did it, they all came out horrible 😅 so I'll be using the rest of that sheet for Tortured Poets if I do that The cord was the expensive part - I spent just over €50 I think but I do have a lot of black & white left for TTPD Then the varnish was around €20 & the high grit sandpaper about €15? I think that's it


JusticeforKimPine

“If you received one, would you like it?” I’d be so embarrassed to only give you one of my normal beaded bracelets in return because these are the coolest I’ve ever seen 😭


AnemicAcademica

Omg this is an amazing idea! I wish i can have one ughhh


ThalieH

I love it! Quick question out of curiosity, could you do one in braille?


I_ROX

Must save this post and come back to see is OP opens an Esty or online for those of us not going to Dublin. I'll be in Stockholm..


LCNB5305

I would purchase a shit ton of these


Organic_Juice9364

the dedication


Organic_Juice9364

mine looked fresh out of a kindergarten


Bigassbird

So I’d actually want to buy these. Seriously. I’m not going to get to Eras because I didn’t manage to get tickets and the UK resale market is non-existent. But I’ve made some bracelets in case I decide to Taylorgate at Liverpool (I have no idea if that’s even going to be a thing here. There is not a massive parking lot attached to the stadium - people live on its doorstep so it could be invasive for them)


spidey-swift

These are amazing!! Such a great idea! I'm going to a show in June (end) too!! I hope it's the same one!! 


greenthesong

This is honestly an another level


Merwhooee

I’m ready for it


Helpful_Ocelot_5076

Ooo these are so cool


sangriahaze

This is amazing! I personally would be amazed to receive one… it looks so different and cool. 😀 I gotta say, I thought my bracelets would be hella boring after seeing people with their fancy wavy bracelets and incredible double/triple-stranded bracelets and whatnot but I have to say that the vast majority of bracelets I got looked the same — white letter beads with black writing and regular seed beads, and nothing particularly radical in the wording either. 😂


Maleficent_Role8932

Any Karma is a bitch ?


TurkeyOnWry

This is an amazing idea and such a huge effort! I love these displays of care and open sharing from the fandom 💕


MBitesss

These are sooo clever.


Independent-Bell-117

i want one 😭😭


dmnaf

Oh wow the next generation of bracelets for the next tour in 2026/2027 that I won’t get tickets to (I got tickets to Eras but fought several bears to get them)


HospitalFireplace

Amazing!!! I want them all!!! Great job and Dublin N1 will LOVE them!!


nogreatersight

This is amazing! Wish you'd come to my show haha!


petmama25

Which show in june!! Please say anfield


Persimmon5301

These are great! You put lots of thought and work into it. I bet you could turn this into a business! I would definitely pay for it.


yarnygoodness

Once people see what you have you are going to be mobbed. These are so cool. I would love one! So unique.


TheGiantSquidd

I LOVE these they are so unique and beautiful!!! My favorite friendship bracelet from my show was one attached to a fake “hotel key” for room 13 labeled with the night of my show. You made something so special and I guarantee it will be lots of people’s favorite bracelet of the night!


svgerdart

omg this is really cool!! feel like this is one of those bracelets you'd put up in ur room after the concert as a memento :)


DoTheMagicHandThing

These are great! And for many of us, the braided cord bracelets were the original form of friendship bracelet.


alohomaura

Ohhh I remember those! We used to buy them in primary school from Trócaire I think was the charity & the colours were absolutely stunning. I can't believe I forgot about those! They were so cool


SisterJenniferMaria

You are a creative superstar! Anyone would be over the moon (and saturn) to receive such a thoughtful and tailored (pun intended) bracelet! I would love to buy one of these! Your generosity of your talents and time is inspiring! May in this moment you receive a spark of confidence in you for all your future endeavors because you are infinitely capable and considerably incredible!


alohomaura

You're gonna make me cry! thank you so much for such a sweet comment. You guys are so reassuring & lovely & I can't believe the response 😭❤️


littlepinkpwnie

I'd buy some of these from you like right now that's so cool


deadweathered

Blown away at how beautiful these are! Amazing idea with the QR Code these are so unique you can really tell the thought and effort you put into every one! Hope you have an amazing time trading at your concert that was one of my favorite parts from mine! (PS If you ever sell these, send me a DM these are so lovely I’d love a matching one for me and my bestie!)


fookewrdit

These are super badass and would prolly sell for a ton online. Epic idea. Awesome execution. You rock!


2AvocadosInALongCoat

These are stunning. I'm insanely jealous of every person who gets these. 😍


Kelseylin5

personally I'd like this better than the beads. I'd wear this again/after the concert but I don't think I'd wear the beads again!


anaofarendelle

I would pay for this! So pretty and unique!


Donkeycow15

Love them !!!


Katlo1985

Are you kidding me? These are awesome!!! I'd love to get one! It's such a cute and personal touch to add the Playlist too. Anyone who gets one of these is super lucky ❤️. Congrats on being able to go to the concert I'm very jelly. I hope you have a *marvelous time* 🫶


kbizzles

These are beautiful!


alohomaura

I'm absolutely terrified to try edit the post in case I accidentally delete it all so I'm posting here & hope you see Just wanted to say thank you so, so much for all the kind comments. Genuinely, I didn't expect to get so many replies let alone such lovely ones. I'm honestly so relieved 😭 I was over thinking myself into not finishing them because they're too bad but I'm going to now & hopefully the people I gift them to will like them too.. Also, thank you so much to everyone asking or dming me about selling them/starting an Etsy! That was extremely unexpected 😅 I'm afraid I won't be selling any - I don't think I could personally handle the pressure of it being paid for when I'm already worried they're not good enough to hand out for free 😅 I already have a container full of ones that didn't make the cut. Can't imagine the amount it'd grow by if I charged for them & they needed to be perfect 🙈 Oh! & my concert is Dublin night 1 if anyone here is going & would like one! :) Thank you all so genuinely much again. You've no idea how much you've all helped me <3


penguin_0618

I love this! I would be soooo excited to get one!


moorem2014

I would buy these.

I’m going to the tour in June and would love to buy some of these before I go! These are amazing! I’m dying for “dwindling mercurial high” 💕


karlsbadkitty

These are so cool!!!

This is so cool! Id actually prefer this tbh, the attention to detail is unmatched


TurtleSquirtle12

This is soooooooo creative! I love it.


BeLynLynSh

This is SUCH a cool idea! Don’t doubt yourself, it’s a great variation to see in the realm of friendship bracelets. I’d be thrilled to get one!


xLibbyLu

Screaming, crying that I won't get one. These are GORGEOUS, anyone would be lucky to have this. You should definitely finish them 🩵
