Instructions for Embroidery Floss Friendship Bracelets

Use strands of embroidery floss to make simple, but pretty, friendship bracelets.

Children love to give tokens of their affection to friends and family members. Set them up with a fun, simple and inexpensive craft that won't take long to finish. You'll be surprised at how much fun your little ones have with their new cottage industry, and how happy they are to share their new-found skill with everyone. You'll be just as proud of them as they are of themselves.

Things You'll Need

• 3 pieces of embroidery floss each 30 inches long
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Tie all three pieces of embroidery floss together with a double knot. This knot should be about 2 inches down from the start of your floss.

2. Separate your three pieces of floss. Mentally number your pieces, from right to left, 1 through 3.

3. Tie a single knot, using thread number 1, around thread number 2. Repeat, using thread 1 to tie a single knot around thread 3. Thread 2 will now be in the number 1 position, thread 3 will now be number 2, and thread 1 will now be number 3.

4. Continue step 3 with each of your strings. Work in this way until your bracelet is long enough to tie around a wrist. Tie all the threads of embroidery floss together in a double knot, and cut off any extra. The bracelet is now finished.
