Fashionable Friendship Bracelets!

This summer, I decided to make a friendship bracelet.  A friendship bracelet is a bracelet that is made from string or yarn that you give to your friend.  The first step to a friendship bracelet is to find a friend. A good friend is someone who is nice, fun to be around, and caring. My best friend Adia, has all of those characteristics and came up with the title for this post.  Thank you Adia.  Every week this summer, Adia and I took turns coming over to each others houses.  We swam in the pool, made friendship bracelets, played board games, played ping pong, and did many other activities.

Here are the steps to make a friendship bracelet:

1. Pick out the colored string that your friend would like.  Use at least three or more different colors.
2. Tie all three of your strings into a knot at the top.
3. Tape the string to your thigh or another hard surface (e.g. desk)
4. Pick one string and make a shape of a four.
5. Take the end of the four and put it under the strings. Pull it forward so it forms a knot around the other strings.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the same color 5 to 10 times.
7. Follow the same instructions to create a pattern with the other strings. 
8. Give it to your friend.
