DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Basic Friendship Bracelets
Materials
 | 3 strands of embroidery floss or yarn each 6 feet long
 | floss is nicer but a nice thick yarn can be easier to use the
first time you do the project
|
|
|
 |
Directions:
| Put your yarn together so all of the ends meet
|
| Fold in half and knot in the middle (now you have 6 strands)
|
| tape the knot to a table or clip it onto a clipboard (or get a
friend to hold it)
|
| Starting from left to right, hold the |
|
 |
| Starting from left to right, use the left most string (in this case
the yellow) to make a double knot around each of the other strings --
the image shows what one double knot looks like
|
|
 |
| using the colors in our diagram, we'd use the left most yellow to
make a double knot around the red, then the second red, the green,
then the second green, then the yellow
|
| At the end of that, the string we used for knotting is now on the
right most side of the project and there's a diagonal first row of
knots across our bracelet |
|
 |
| Again, starting from left to right, we'll pick up our next string
and knot all the way across with it -- in our diagram, we pick up the
right string and knot across the green, green, red, yellow, yellow |
|
 |
| continue this process of taking the left most string and double
knotting all the way across the other strings until your bracelet is
long enough to tie around your wrist
|
| Tie a simple knot in the end and then tie it around your friend's
wrist! |
