is baby, be friends with you. One of our favorite things to keep our hands busy during these wild times has been making crafts--and we are kicking it back to summer camp with these updated friendship bracelets! We wanted to make this tutorial to fit any materials you already have at home. For this bracelet, you can use any kind of cord: waxed cotton, rope, embroidery floss, suede-or thinly ripped fabric (I may have used this idea for a once-loved-now-curry-stained-tee). Make one for yourself, and then one for your best babe.

Materials

 

If this is your first time making a bracelet, start with 4 lengths of the 20 inch cord.

If your wrist is larger than 7.5 inches, the cord lengths should be 22 inches long :)

These crimp beads are my go-to:

If you have beads or charms on your bracelet, make sure they sit in the middle of the loop. Making a basic knot on each side of your beads / charms may make this easier if you're new to crafting!
