How to Make Friendship Bracelets

Best friends are often inseparable. To prove to each other that their bond will last, children can fill up their arms with a batch of friendship bracelets.

Materials Needed:

  • six 24-inch strands of embroidery thread
  • Tape

    Hold the embroidery thread strands together with the ends matched up, then tie and overhand knot 1 inch from an end. Tape the knot to a table-top (or anchor it in a closed drawer). Holding the free end, twist the bunch repeatedly in the same direction until it is tightly wound.

    Pinch the twisted band in the center and fold it in half so that the free end matches up with the knotted end. Release the center, and the band will automatically twist back on itself.

    Slip the ends through the loop (the pinch point) at the opposite end of the band, tie a knot to secure the bracelet, knot again, and trim the ends.
