"Chewy" Friendship Bracelet

This summer on one of our "adventures" we stopped by a Fremont Indian Museum. While we were there, I bought all of us a few of the knotted and beaded friendship bracelets. I noticed that Asia was chewing on hers all of the time. I kind of thought "that is cool" because it kept her from chewing on her arm and clothing. I decided I would try and make some for her. I thought since she was "chewing" on it I might as well try and find some "organic" embroidery floss. I discovered that it is seriously hard to find! I found two different shops on Etsy and ordered some from each just to compare. One shop is located in the UK and the other in the US. Here is my first attempt at making her one (its not perfect)...I might make the next one a little wider and order some darker colors. Maybe practice some new pattern skills:) The cost is low and I can easily make more when needed. When she saw it she asked me to put it on her-she started chewing on it within seconds of putting it on her arm. I don't know how long it will last or if it's very good for her to chew on but, I figure it can be any worse then her shirt and it protects her arm!
