How to Make a Friendship Bracelet Fast

Young girls often give each other friendship bracelets.

Sometimes you just need a friendship bracelet quickly. Maybe you don't have a lot of time, but you want to make a friendship bracelet for a friend, or maybe you don't consider yourself that crafty and need a simple friendship bracelet. You can make a friendship bracelet quickly with one uncomplicated knot, which creates a spiral bracelet made of twine or yarn in the colors of your choice. Your friend doesn't have to know how quick and easy the bracelet was to make.

Things You'll Need

• 24-inch piece of yarn, twine or embroidery floss
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Fold an 18-inch piece of yarn, twine or embroidery floss 6 inches from one end. Place a piece of tape over the fold and tape it to a table. The shorter side of the yarn is your holding yarn, and the longer side is the yarn you will be working with.

2. Form a knot by placing the working yarn over the holding yarn. Then pass it under the holding yarn and through the loop that you formed. Pull tightly.

3. Continue forming knots until the bracelet is large enough to fit the wearer's wrist. The bracelet will form a natural twist as you are working.

4. Slide a pony bead onto each end, and form a knot at the end to keep it in place.

5. Cut the ends of the yarn with a pair of scissors.

Tips & Warnings

• Always loop in the same direction as you're knotting.
