  • Mental health: The act of focusing on making a bracelet can help relieve stress and anxiety. 
     
     
  • Cognitive development: The intricate tasks involved in making a bracelet can help stimulate cognitive functions and keep the brain engaged. 
     
     
  • Fine motor skills: The act of weaving and knotting threads helps develop fine motor control and coordination. 
     
     
  • Hand-eye coordination: The act of making a bracelet requires a combination of hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity. 
     
     
  • Social skills: Making a bracelet can help foster social skills such as cooperation, communication, and empathy. 
     
     
  • Self-esteem: The act of creating a bracelet for someone can help develop confidence. 
     
     
  • Creativity: The act of designing a bracelet and experimenting with colors and patterns can help develop creativity and problem-solving abilities.
