Create your own simple friendship bracelet

We all love friendship bracelets and knowing how to make our own is even better. Make this quick and easy friendship bracelet from the comfort of your own home in these quick and simple steps.

You will need:

• 3 Strings(Different colours will be better)
• Safety pin
• Scissors

1.This design uses 3 strands of floss, but only 2 are seen in the main design. Cut the first (unseen) strand about 4 times the desired length of your bracelet.

2.Cut 2 more strands of different colours about 10 times the desired length of the bracelet. When in doubt, cut more than you think you will need. 

3.Double up your threads and tie a knot leaving a loop. Use the safety pin to attach to a pillow or other work surface. Divide thread by colour. My orange thread is the centre(unseen) thread.

4.Make a "4" shape with your left thread.

5.Bring the end of the thread under the centre string and over itself. This is a forward knot.

6.Pull you knot firmly to the top. 

 7.Make a "p" shape with your left thread.

8.Bring the end of the thread under the centre thread and over itself. This is a reverse/backward knot. Being knot firmly to top. 

 

  9.Make a "p" with the right thread.

10.Bring end of thread under centre thread and over itself. This is another backward knot. Pull knot to top.

11.Make a "4" with the right thread. 

 12.Bring end under centre and over itself. This is another forward knot. Pull knot to top.

13.Repeat Left - forward ---> backward Right - backward ---> forward Until desired length is reached.
