Hey guys👋
How are y'all doing! 💖
I feel very disappointed to think that the our brothers and sisters in Gaza are suffering and we are able to do nothing. Even our governments who have been claming to be a pro Palestinians, don't speak up openly for them and did nothing yet. Even no kind of food and medical aid is provided by government. Though there are people who are supporting them privately, but governmental level aid makes the difference. The most heartbreaking thing is hipocrisy this world shows, it talks about human rights, but those humans are chosen ones, it doesn't encircle everyone.

As this the era of hybrid wars, counter narratives are necessary to show world that what's actually going on there. That's we need to keep spreading the words for countering the terrorism in Gaza.
So don't stop talking about them. And for me this bracelet would speak up my words.
In fact the idea for trying out these bracelet was by dlmmqb@dlmmqb, he had send me this link of video to try it. Reference
So let's start making it.

Materials

Yarn of Red ♥️, Black 🖤, Green 💚 and White 🤍 colors.
(I thought yarn would be a better option for making them, but it turned out larger than I expected. So you can opt for embroidery thread for a smaller and slim bracelet.)

alt

Process

Firstly I taped the threads of required lengths on a board.
alt

I was very nervous as I had never done this before. After so many attempts I was able to do this first knot.
alt

Here I completed the red part of flag.
alt

Now I started making the rest of the flag. There was a pattern given by author of video, but I couldn't understand it at first, so I just stick to video.

alt

alt

Here first flag was completed. I didn't like it much as it wasn't that neat.
alt

Now it I started making second flag.

alt

Here it was complete and it was much better than the first one.
alt

I made this 3rd flag just by following the pattern given. Was pretty confident here!
alt

While making 4th one didn't use video neither pattern. I had also recorded the whole process of 4th one, and later one had to speed it up and cut many parts to a good size.
alt

Here is when anxiety lingered again, when black thread was about to end before completing last flag.
So I added a joint, and was praying that it might not come on fore ground and thank god it didn't.
alt

It's completed here☺️
alt

alt

alt

I have decided to make some more and distribute so that everyone could use themselves as the word of support.

Okay that was all.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.
Take care 💞
Bye bye 👋✨
