Beaded Friendship Bracelets
Do you need a great accessory to symbolize your fellowship to another? Try a friendship bracelet. They’re personal and sentimental ; and the best part is that you can make them by yourself! First of all make sure you have what you need for making bead jewelry
The great thing is that beaded jewerly making can be enjoyed by everyone. Friendship bracelets have been around for many , many years. Folk tradition claims that when anyone gives you a friendship bracelet, you must wear it and not remove it till it falls off on its own. Taking it off implies that you are ending your friendship with the person that gave it to you. .
These bracelets are really easy to make. Most designers use embroidery thread in making them but you may opt to use hemp. There also are a lot of knot styles to choose from like the double-chain knot and the braid but the most commonly-used one is the half-hitch knot. If you’re making the bracelet out of embroidery thread, try using 2 colors. You can also mix your favorite with that of your buddy’s to make it more personalized and remarkable.
When making the bracelet, begin by cutting three strands of one color and three strands of the other. You must have a total of 6 strands in your hand. Tie a knot about an inch from the end of all 6 strands. Make sure that you secure the strands with a weight because you will be pulling on them. Form a single knot with the first three strands and another with the remaining three strands until the bracelet is the length you want it to be. Secure the ends with another knot and trim them.
One way that you can make your friendship bracelet more special is to add handmade glass beads to them. You can even choose beads that are symbolic to you and your pal. Try searching for beads that represent what it is that you like about your chum or perhaps something that reflects both of your personalities.
To add beads to your bracelet, simply thread floss into a needle and string the beads according to the pattern that you like. Be careful when stringing your beads so you will not make that many mistakes. It is also helpful to design the pattern before you begin making the bracelet.
Making friendship bracelets is actually a good way to bond with your mate. It’s easy and simple to make and the product is truly something that you will both cherish for ages.
