Self Injury Awareness Day!
 

Greetings earthlings!

As I'm sure you've spotted by now, today is self injury awareness day, and we on the Community Team got together and decided that this year we wanted to encourage you to get creative and make your own self-injury awareness bracelets. There are a variety of such bracelets and wristbands already available, but making your own has the added benefit of being a good distraction!

The first design is one that you'll find in the March 2012 edition of the ezine. If you flick through the first few pages you'll get to the instructions for making hemp bracelets, and you could use orange string and/or beads to make it SIAD-themed.

The second design is a simple friendship bracelet design:



which is hopefully explained vaguely clearly in this MPG, made for today by Jenna (Narcissa) and Jodie (Bellatrix).

Linking it via my blog to avoid youtube's rather unsavoury recommendations for further viewing!

If you do make yourself an SIAD bracelet, either from one of these designs or one of your own, we'd love to see them on the SIAD picture thread

Hope you have a pleasant Friday!

Jenna, Jodie, Tay and Amy and the Community Team

And with thanks to monket, for the tutorial in the ezine.

When was the march ezine released oO
Or, is this you officially annaouncing its release?

Oh sorry, I should of specified, that was March 2012!

Now compliment my video asaps before my NPD died >.<

Where can I buy a 70cm ruler...

Good video Jenna :D
I am far too lazy to do this myself, but I may force my sister to do it ^_^

Yes, it's the March 2012 eZine! We are currently working on March 2013's! It will be clearly posted in General Chat when it's finished.

I wanted to make a bracelet but couldn't find anything to use :(
So i drew a big orange butterfly on my wrist and found two rubber band ben 10 monster things i had on my shelf, even if only i know what they r and can see them, its still a start :)

I completely forgot about SIAD.
*facepalm*

Thank you for posting this Jenna and to the other people involved in creating this thread. I am going to have a go at making a bracelet this evening. I have embroidery thread from cross stitch.

Also, Jenna, I love how so many of your pictures have SRS BSNS work in the background!

If anyone interested Idranktheseawater on YouTube has gone out again to educate people on Self Harm for SIAD '13 - this time in England!

Well done everyone on all they have done!

LOVE the ending lol!

Jenna, do you have a QK tattoo on your wrist?!

^she does

Yay! Glad you're going to have a go!
And yeah, I use normal embroidery thread, with all six strands.

^what she said!
Had to use that wrist in the MPG as it doesn't have scars :P Although in the current climate I imagine scars probably would of gone down better than a QK...
