Friendship bracelets were very popular when I was a little girl, and they are making a big come back. Our friendship bracelets resource page is our most popular page on our site, so I would say that they have come back to be a very popular arts and crafts activity. The best part is that these are super cheap to make…all you need is yarn or string, scissors, and tape. Give one to your best friends and they are supposed to return the favor. It is fun to see how many bracelets you can get back from your friends. Try it out.

This is what the finished friendship bracelet should look like. To finish up, just put it around your friend’s wrist, and then tie it loosely around your friend’s wrist.
You can make more advanced friendship bracelets by adding more strings and using the same exact process as you did with 3 strings. You can also try using 2 knots for one color, 5 knots for another, and 1 knot for the 3rd color (and other variations) to make some cool looking patterns. You would have to vary the lengths of the strings to do this (the more knots that you want to make with a string, the longer it would have to bet).
