Classic Friendship Bracelets
There are few craft projects as simple, satisfying and fun as friendship bracelets! Despite complicated appearances, they actually involve just a few easy-to-master knots. They are so simple that you could learn (and teach!) the entire process over a very short time, like say, Christmas morning!
Our Classic Friendship Bracelet Kit contains everything you need to make around a dozen bracelets, all packaged in a stocking-ready tin. Inside you’ll find step-by-step instructions for three basic designs: stripes, chevrons and diamonds; plus a safety pin and five 10-yard spools of smooth nylon knotting cord, which makes the brightest, sturdiest and cutest bracelets around!
Our Classic Friendship Bracelet Kits come in six fun colorways and are available right here. You can also choose to buy the Pattern on its own, as a hard copy or download.
Designed for giving, friendship bracelets are inherently generous, and so the knowledge of how to make them is the most perfect gift we can think of for the giving season! Happy holidays! -Molly
P.S. On a roll and need some extra nylon cording? Purl Soho’s 1mm Knotting Cord Sets come in lots of pretty colorways and include enough cord to make several bracelets!
Can an 8 year old master making these bracelets?
Thank you
Hi Kris-
I would say that, with some adult help, an 8 year old could definitely master the striped and probably the chevron patterns. The Diamonds pattern is a bit more advanced so that might be harder, although kids tend to be very smart and quick with this stuff who knows!
Thanks for getting in touch and please let us know if you (or the eight year old in question) have any more questions!
Thanks!
Molly
This is a great trip down memory lane! I remember many a road trip where my sister and I would make these out of embroidery floss. My 6 year old has enjoyed making the simple knotted ones from another post; Santa is bringing some of your cord for a stocking stuffer. Wonderful blog – I have ordered frequently and hope to visit in the future!
Molly I just want to extend a heartfelt thank you and Merryest of Christmas’ and a bountiful New Year to you.
I am sooo enjoying this page; it is obvious how much love & attention you put into it and I just want to say thanks.
Gonna send marshmallow recipe to my sister and will get back to you as to how they are.
Love & Grace.
Can you send me the pattern please

Hi! How many patterns is it in the Classic Friendship Bracelet Kit?

Hi Maria-
It contains three patterns: Stripes, Chevron, and Diamonds. The Stripe and Chevron patterns are very similar to the ones we have here on the Bee but are started and finished differently.
Please let us know if you have any more questions!
