Outcome | To make a bracelet which spells out a name or word using morse code |
Resources | Beads String, elastic, wire (for bracelet) Morse code cipher |
Instructions | Make a loop or knot in your string/wire Choose the message you want - eg. your name or simple phrase (brave, do your best, Cubs, Scouts, etc.) You will need 4 different colors of beads for each bracelet. As soon as you have chosen the colors you can start stringing. - The first color you pick will be the base color of the bracelet (the spaces between words) - The second color of bead will separate your letters (to indicate the end of a letter). - The third color will be the dots - The fourth colour will be the dashes Use the morse code template to determine your word/message. So... a dot and three dashes equals the letter "J". Finish the letter off by adding a separation bead. Move on to the next letter. Once you have finished your first word, separate the word with the bracelet base color (spaces). And keep going strong by starting your next word! Tie or close off your bracelet at the end with a knot or loop. |
