How do you make a friendship bracelet with yarn?

Answer 1

The key is to use multiple strings. So, on the side where there are "hearts", you need something like 10 strings of one color, and 6 of another. You cut these 16 strings to about 20", tie them together at one end, hold the knotted end in the hole in the middle of the loom, and put a string in each of the colored spots, depending on the color. That's the confusing part. You then follow the instructions where you start at the "start" part of the wheel, take the right most string and move it just to the right of the strings directly opposite where it was on the loom (the bottom). You then take the string on the left of the new group of three strings on the bottom, and move it to the left of the string on the top of the loom, two spots over to the left from where you just took a string. You then move the loom counter clockwise (left) to the next set of strings and do the same thing. You keep doing this until the bracelet is long enough for you.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can try to visit BraceletBook.com

You can find a lot of tutorials, bracelet patterns and bracelet photos there. You can also add a photo, or pattern that you've made. Another cool thing is, you can create an alpha pattern from an image, in 2 single steps, and start tying today! The only thing you have to do is to sign up there (if you want to add the patterns and photos). They also have an iPhone app for the website, so you can make the bracelets on the road.

Good luck ;)

there's this kind of friendship bracelet i know how to make. my art teacher taught me. I don't know if it actually has a name or not.

you'll need some cardboard, some string, a needle, some tape and some beads. Indian beads are good.

1. get a rectangular piece of cardboard. the length of this cardboard rectangle will be approximately the length of your bracelet. cut it so that its got some gaps for the string to go through. it should look a bit like this: (ignore the 'l' lines in the middle)

l\/l\/l\/l\/l\/l\/l\/l\/l

l lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l

l lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l

l lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l

l lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l

l/\l/\l/\l/\l/\l/\l/\l/\l

2. cut some string about 60 cm long (or longer). tape one end to the BACK of your cardboard template. the wind the rest of the string in the gaps on the end of the cardboard. the number of spaces between the string is how many beads wide your bracelet will be. tape the other end of the string to the BACK of the template.

3. now get a needle, and thread 60cm of string through the eye and tie it there. make sure you do two knots. now tie the OTHER end of the string to the string CLOSEST to the edge of the cardboard template. then thread your beads onto the string. remember that the number of spaces in between your string will be the amount of beads you must put on the string with the needle on it.

4. thread the needle underneath every single string (the ones wrapped around the cardboard) arrange the beads so they are all in a space. when you're done, thread the needle THROUGH the beads but OVER the string (wrapped around the cardboard). tug the string to tighten.

5. repeat the process to make more rows of beads. when you're finished, tie the string that you put the beads on to one of the strings wrapping around the cardboard. cut the strings at the back and peel off the tape. tie each end of the strings and you're done!

this might sound a lot now, and it takes some time to do one bracelet, but they're really cool! you can put names on them, do borders, hearts, stripes, rainbows, anything!
