Step By Step 6 String Friendship Bracelet
Introduction
Friendship bracelets are not only a fun way to show your love and appreciation for your friends, but they also make a great accessory to wear on your wrist. In this article, we will be discussing how to make a 6 string friendship bracelet step by step. This is a great project for beginners or those who are experienced in making friendship bracelets.
Materials Needed
Before we get started, let's gather all the materials we will need to make our friendship bracelet. The materials are:
- 6 embroidery floss strings
- A pair of scissors
Step 1: Choosing Your Colors
The first step is to choose the colors you want to use for your friendship bracelet. You can choose any colors you like, but it's best to choose colors that complement each other.
Step 2: Measuring the Strings
Next, measure out the length of each string. You will need each string to be about 30 inches long. Once you have measured out the length, cut the strings with the scissors.
Step 3: Tying the Knot
Now, tie a knot at one end of the strings, leaving about an inch of tail. This will be the starting point of your friendship bracelet.
Step 4: Arranging the Strings
Arrange the strings in the order you want them to be in. This will help you keep track of which string to use next.
Step 5: Braiding the Bracelet
Now, it's time to start braiding your friendship bracelet. Follow these steps:
- Take the first string on the left and make a forward knot over the second string. Pull the first string under the second string and then through the loop created. Tighten the knot.
- Repeat step 1 with the same string, making a second knot over the third string.
- Take the first string on the right and make a backward knot over the second string. Pull the first string under the second string and then through the loop created. Tighten the knot.
- Repeat step 3 with the same string, making a second knot over the third string.
- Repeat steps 1-4 until your friendship bracelet is the desired length.
- Once you have reached the desired length, tie a knot at the end of the strings, leaving about an inch of tail.
Step 6: Finishing the Bracelet
Finally, trim the excess string at both ends of the bracelet. You can also tie a knot at the ends to secure the bracelet.
Conclusion
Congratulations, you have now made a beautiful 6 string friendship bracelet! This is a great gift for your friends or just something to wear on your own wrist. Remember to have fun and experiment with different colors and patterns.
