How to Make a Friendship Bracelet

Today, I will be teaching you how to make a friendship bracelet. Although there are many different patterns, the easiest and simplest one to make is a diagonal pattern.

For this craft, you will need string, scissors, tape, a desk, and a good attitude!

Step 1: Gather your strings together. You have to use at least three string minimum, and you can use any colors your heart desires. For this example I am using four strings; pink, orange, green, and yellow. Also grab some scissors and tape.

Step 2: Cut all of your strings to the same length. Mine are about two feet long, but anything around that works.

Step 3: Once you have gathered your strings all together, wrap it around your finger to create a knot so you can begin making the bracelet.

Step 4: Separate your strings from each other and take the furthest one on the left and cross it over the next into a shape that looks like the number 4.

Step 5: Pull the original string under the second one to complete your first knot.

Step 6: Depending on how thick you want your patterned line to be, you repeat steps 4 and 5 again to create another knot. In my example, I did it twice.

Step 7: After completing the first knot on the second string, move on to the third. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to create another knot.

Step 8: In my example, I used 4 strings. This step is unnecessary if you have less than that. If you do, repeat steps 4 and 5 again on the last string.

Step 9: Repeat all steps with the original second color string you began with.

Step 10: Once you are satisfied with the length of your bracelet or anklet, tie a knot around your fingers to secure the end.

Step 11: Tie it around wherever you want to wear it and enjoy! Make matching ones with your friends to make it even more fun and memorable.
