Sun activated friendship bracelets

[meloricat.livejournal.com]

My mother-in-law came home from a holiday in Holland and she brought us some sun activated embroidery thread by Anchor. I made a bracelet out of some of it already for my youngest daughter. I took a couple of digital photos but the difference in colour in and out of the sun is not as vivid in pictures, so I've included a small scan of the embroidery thread pamphlet as well...



This is the bracelet in the sun. My daughter's hand is the model.


This is the bracelet out of the sun.


This is the pamphlet she gave us with the thread. It shows the difference in colour a little better. The colour changes instantly but it takes a while before it goes back to white once you bring it out of the sun.
