How to Make a Rasta Colored Friendship Bracelet
Use the Rasta theme to make a friendship bracelet to give away. Rasta-style items use the colors red, yellow and green. Some items use gold instead of yellow. Rasta culture, or Rastafari, came from Jamaican religion and culture, though people can find it in various parts of pop culture. For example, Bob Marley played a role in the movement and is often accompanied by the three colors on posters and signs. The three colors work well for braided friendship bracelets.
