School’s been out for a month… you probably had enough theme-parking, swimming, sunning, and other outdoor activities. Now you’re looking for a relaxing indoor activity. You’re in luck! I have just the right activity for you – making friendship bracelets!
To get started, you’ll need the following:
Embroidery floss (like DMC or Anchor) – 2 or more different colors is preferred
A pair of scissors
Ruler
A clipboard (or a clip and a book)
Beads (optional)
Your creativity… and your patience.
Getting started:
In order to make a bracelet, there are few things you should know first. The step-by-step instructions below was copied from Making Friends. I believe these images are derived from Klutz.
Easy enough? I think so, too. Now you’re ready to make beautiful friendship bracelets!
It’s good to start with something easy. How about the Diagonal Stripes pattern? The step-by-step instructions below tells you to use 4-different colored threads but you can use two, three, five, or whatever you like! Just make the necessary adjustments.
Diagonal stripes pattern (from Klutz)
For this pattern, you’ll need 4 colors of embroidery floss 26 inches long
Have fun!
awesome, cool, fantastic

[...] Craft Hope has sounded the call for bracelets. Now, jewelry-making is not my strong suit. Lucky for me, my partners in crime (the syndicate, if you will) are very gifted in this area, so I regularly benefit from their talents and have been able to pretty much resist the lure of the bead. Still, I really wanted to participate in this project! After a little searching around on the internet, I stumbled upon a forgotten classic: the friendship bracelet. [...]
