How To Make The Ultimate Friendship Bracelet!

I started making friendship bracelets in elementary school and became obsessed rather quickly. I bought several books on how to make different patterns, bought every color of embroidery floss imaginable and even started to sell them at my school. Let's face it they are tons of fun to make!

In this tutorial I will take you through an extensive step-by-step process to make one of the more difficult patterns. Even though this is a difficult pattern I have written this tutorial so that even a beginner can accomplish this design!

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

You will need the following:

-Tape
-Four different colors of embroidery floss
-Scissors
-Sewing needle (optional)
-Measuring tape (recommended) or 12-inch ruler
-Safety pin (optional)

The easiest embroidery floss to find at your local craft store is DMC Rayon Floss. It comes in almost any color and shade imaginable and the bundles typically run about $0.99 for 8.7 yards. You can find it at both Michael's and Hobby Lobby in the needlework section.

This is soooooo cool! I've seen it somewhere before but the instructions were way to confusing! And I have a tip!! After you knot it, you could make two little braids to tie it off with! (you would have two extra strings though, but you could cut them off!)

I'm thankful that you made this difficult looking bracelet tutorial with easy-to-follow steps. I did have one problem with it though.. I used the length of string recommended, and was only able to get four "different colored segments(?)". My bracelet is about 3 inches long and I don't think i'll be able to tie it :(
