How to Make a Friendship Rope Bracelet
Friendship bracelets are woven bracelets exchanged from one person to another as a symbol of their friendship. These bracelets can trace their origins to the native tribes of Central America. They saw a large boost to popularity in the United States during the 1970s. Many different styles of friendship bracelets range from the simple to the elaborate. According to tradition, the recipient of the bracelet is to wear it until the threads wear out and the bracelet falls off of the wrist.
