Power Bands at Berry Miller JH - Part 2

To get this job done, there is quite a bit of prep.  I can do math and figure out how much of everything I need, but I must admit, assembling it all is something else.

I decide to be prepared I will need supplies for 400 power bands.  This means 400 15 inch lengths of leather cord, 400 black beads, 400 red beads, 400 white beads, 400 green beads and 400 gold/yellow beads.

All the supplies need to sorted and packaged.  This was a much bigger job than I would have thought.  I decide I will cut and bundle 100 leather cords a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  It takes me over an hour to get about 140 cords done on Monday.  Allie (my daughter) helped me a lot on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  She counted most of the beads and put them in pill bottles.  40 beads to a bottle, 6 colors of beads, 10 groups – 60 bottles of beads. 

Then the next step is 40 leather cords (bundled in groups of 10) and 6 bottles of beads put in a bag.

It may not sound like much, but it took hours to get this all done.
