I'm not sure if anyone here will know what it means since I live in a tiny rural town but I like having it

Follow the instructions on this page but use six colours and only use two strands of each colour not three otherwise it turns out really thick.
It takes a bit of practice and quite a bit of time but it's worth it.

Its supposed to show that the LGBT community is made up of many different kinds of people (aka many different "colors") but we all come together in acceptance and love to create something beautiful (aka the "rainbow")

It takes a lot to explain.
Just read the Wikipedia page.

It's something about diversity and all the different colours coming together to form one things but I'm not really sure.

There's also a much more intense explanation of what each colour represents.

The raindow flag was originally used by the Peace Movement, but was soon adopted by the gay rights movement.

*artsy senses tingling*

Amy · 24th Oct 2009, 11:23 AM

So, I haven't commented on the bracelet. Whoa.
Is pretty.

Totoro · 24th Oct 2009, 11:29 AM

Good job! I used to make these years ago >_< But they are absolute time consumers Dx Maybe i should make one... It would be somewhat subtle, which is good enough for me ;D

carrie90 · 24th Oct 2009, 12:43 PM

Wow thats really cool

NickT · 24th Oct 2009, 04:49 PM

I really need to get one of those >>; Looks very neat!

hiddendc4 · 24th Oct 2009, 06:32 PM

that's pretty cool its similar to the one that I made and wear, except I incorporated some beads into mine for the colors

Techcompu2 · 24th Oct 2009, 07:53 PM

I might try to make one of these sometime. is there a big difference between normal sewing thread and Embroidery floss? b/c if there is, that might make it harder for me to do...

EDIT: nvm, I found the Embroidery floss that I needed
