How to Make a Quick and Easy Friendship Bracelet

Colorful Friendship Bracelets

I want to teach you how to make a quick and easy friendship bracelet. They might look hard to make but once you learn you will be mad at yourself for not learning earlier.

My daughter wears several different friendship bracelets at the same time. Most teens do. She even makes them as gifts for her friends since they are so easy to make.

Be creative and have fun while making the bracelets. Have a friendship bracelet making party! Friendship bracelets always bring a smile to everyone's face. Arts and crafts supplies can be bought in your local store. We have AC Moore, Joann's Fabrics and Michael's Craft Stores nearby. Check your directory to see which crafts stores are in your area.

Making your own jewelry is fun to do. You can even make these longer to make necklaces and keychains. It is a great craft project to work on with your family.

Things You'll Need

• 4 or more pieces of embroidery thread
• Scissors
• Tape

Instructions

1. 

   Cut about an arms length of embroidery thread for each color you want to use for your bracelet. You should use a minimum of 4 strands for your bracelet.

2. 

   Tie all of your threads together with one knot at the top of the strands

3. 

   Tape it (knot at the top by the tape) to a flat surface so you can work on it easily

4. Pick up one piece of thread and take the second one and take the 1st one and wrap it around the 2nd one like a 4. Do it twice to each one

5. 

   Continue doing this with each color twice until you reach your desired length

6. 

   Make it your desired length and tie off at the end and cut the extra thread off and then tie it around your arm or ankle and you are done.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't get discouraged if your knots are not even the first time. With anything new practice makes perfect.
