Learn how to make a simple yet meaningful bracelet with your spare scraps of fiber in just a few minutes. Friendship bracelets make for a perfect gift for yourself, your bestie, or someone you know who could simply use a smile. This is a great project for travel, kids, and large groups!
Here is our step by step guide for making a friendship bracelet. For this example, we used Darn Good Silk Chiffon Ribbon Yarn so that the colors could help you follow each step.
STEP 1
Arrange your strand of ribbon to form the shape of a bracelet (a circle), making sure that the ends of the strand overlap.
STEP 2
Loop one end of your strand of yarn over the other end, pulling it through the loop you just created (similar to tying your shoe!)STEP 3:
Pull both ends of your yarn strand so that a knot is created. Don't pull too tight! You'll want the knot a little loose so that your friendship bracelet is adjustable.
STEP 4:
Pull one of the yarn strand ends to be a little longer than the other. Using the longer end of the yarn strand, repeat steps 1-3 by looping the end around the bracelet in progress.
STEP 5:
Pull the ends of your yarn strand, tightening the second knot you created. (Again, not too tight!) Slide the bracelet on your wrist and adjust the size of it by pulling the two loose ends.
STEP 6: ENJOY!
