How to Make a Friendship Bracelet That Says, "Love You"
One way to show a friend that you value the friendship is to give him or her a friendship bracelet with a message on it. Modify the more traditional friendship bracelet design with letter beads in order to make this personal gift. Spell this out in individual beads or use one bead that contains the entire phrase, which should be easy to find in craft stores. Either type of bead is easy to find year-round, and more commonly found in great variety around Valentine's Day
