friendship bracelets method 3

Method 3 of 3:

Adding a Simple Braid and Beads

1

Add a simple braid If you want a little extra flair, try a simple braid. The braid will be on either end of the bracelet, so you should start your braid before knotting the main design. Gather neighboring individual strings into groups of two or three so that you have three main threads to braid with (left, center, right).

2

Cross the right strand over the center strand. Take whichever thread is currently in the right position and cross it over the top of the center thread. That thread now becomes the center thread. Next, take whichever thread is currently in the left position and cross it over the top of the center thread so that thread now becomes the center thread.

3

Tie a knot before you begin the main braid. Once you've reached the desired amount of the simple braid, about an inch (2.54cm) or less, tie a knot before you begin braiding the striped pattern.

4

Braid the other end of the bracelet.After you have a good length of the striped pattern, finish off your bracelet with a short length of simple braid.

5

Add charms or beads to the end of the bracelet. If you feel like your bracelet needs a little something extra, thread some fun charms or beads onto the strands as you braid. Tie them in a knot to secure them.

All done! Give it to a good friend, try your hand at selling it, or keep it if it's too beautiful to part with.
