How to Make a Striped Friendship Bracelet

1. Chose four different colored strings and cut each string 30 inches long, leaving a 4-inch tail to tie all four stings together.

2. Tape the tail of the strings to a flat surface, and give each string a number (1, 2, 3 and 4).

3. Pick up the first string (1) and wrap it over and then under string 2, making sure you pull string 1 tight, producing a tight knot.

4. Repeat Step 3 using string 1 to make a second knot around string 2.

5. Take string 3 and wrap string 1 over and then under it, pulling the string tight to make a tight knot.

6. Repeat with the last string. Wrap string 1 over string 4 and then under string 4, making sure to pull the string tight.

7. Repeat steps 3-6 altering strings. Keep producing rows of double knots until the bracelet is at the desired length. Tie another tail at the end of the bracelet when finished.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose different colored strings to avoid mixing the strings up.
