How to Make Striped Friendship Bracelets

Pick 5 threads

Pick up to 5 threads (the more colors you choose the wider your bracelet will be).

Align string, fold in half, and tie knot ½ inch from fold forming a loop.

Attach your ½ inch loop to MFBM under the butterfly clip.

Separate strings by placing one string per slot

Hold string #1 with your left hand and string #2 with your right hand, loop string #1 in front making a number “4”.

While holding string #1 & #2 form a right handed double knot.

•After double knot is complete move #2 string to #1 slot, while holding string #1 in hand.
•Take string #1 and make the same right handed double knot around string #3. After double knot is complete move string #3 to the #2 slot.
•Continue to tie right handed double knots on string #4 thru #10 with string #1 until you finish the row. When you completed tying the double knot on string #10 place string #1into slot #10 on your MYFBM.

When your have completed step 6 you have finished your first stripe! Repeat steps 5 and 6 with your new #1 string and watch your bracelet grow!

When you think your bracelet is long enough to fit around your wrist Hold three strings from slots #1 #2 #3 with your left hand and three from slots #8 #9 #10with your right hand. Braid the three strings from your left hand and right hand with the four strings left in slots in #4 #5 #6 #7.

Take the braided strings and tie two basic knots at the end of your friendship bracelet.
