Making a friendship bracelet is a fun and rewarding craft! Here’s a simple guide to help you create one:

Materials Needed

Embroidery floss or yarn (different colors)

Scissors

Tape or a clipboard (to hold it in place)

Ruler (optional)

Steps

Choose Your Colors: Select 3-6 colors of embroidery floss. Bright, contrasting colors work well together.

Cut the Strands: Cut each color into lengths of about 24-30 inches. You can adjust the length based on your wrist size and the knot style.

Organize: Gather the strands and tie them together in a knot about 1 inch from one end. This will be the starting point of your bracelet.

Secure It: Use tape to secure the knot to a flat surface or use a clipboard to hold it in place.

Start Making Knots:

If using a simple braid or knot pattern:

Braid: Divide the strands into three sections and braid them together.

Knotting: Use a basic knot (like the square knot) if you prefer that style. This involves tying two knots in alternating directions.

Continue Braiding/Knotting: Keep adding knots or braiding until the bracelet reaches the desired length.

Finish It: Once it’s long enough, tie a knot to secure the end. Leave enough length to tie it on your wrist.

Tie It On: If you want to wear it, you can tie the ends together or add extra knots for a closure.

Trim Excess: Cut any excess threads, if needed.

Tips

Patterns: You can search for different knot patterns online for more intricate designs.

Adjustable Closure: Consider making the bracelet with an adjustable closure for a better fit.

Enjoy making your friendship bracelet!
