Check out this book on making friendship bracelets. I do remember making these when I was younger. I had tons of them but mine were the simpler ones. I like looking at the ones the kids make now. I had to see what this book offered and see if I could make some.
This book says there are instructions for 10 bracelets from the zipper, to the fishtail, to the chevron, just to name a few. I didn’t know there were that many different ones! The book does explain how to make the knots and tells you how to finish tying off the bracelets.
With each detailed numbered, step-by-step instruction for each bracelet, each instruction tells you which type of string works best for that bracelet whether it be yarn, hemp, embroidery floss, paracord, lanyard string, etc. It also gives you how many of each color you will need and how many inches you will need to get started. At the back of the book, there are options if you want to experiment with your friendship bracelets and do something more.
So, what did I think? I really liked this book. It was more than I expected. I thought it might have a few different ideas but that some of the ideas would be the same bracelet only expanded but some of these looked unique and would be fun to make. Did they look complicated? No, some of them looked like they might be time-consuming but the end result would be worth it. These little pocket books are worth checking out. For $5.99, you can’t beat it. The size of the book is 4-1/8 by 6- 7/8 and about 1/8 thick. There are a few in this series and they ‘re new. 5 stars

concise and informative
Going through my stash of yarn, I noticed I have cotton yarn that could be used to make friendship bracket bookmarks. That’s when I found my stash of friendship bracelet string. I was only taught one pattern as a kid and wanted to learn more.
This book provides several different patterns and states which type of material to use to have the design look its best. The illustrations are easy to understand. The cartoon charter helps are cute.
I realized from this book, that a lot of the land-yard designs I learned as a kid could be use on friendship bracelet designs.

I’m pretty adept at macrame and this has some new ones for me. I’m not sure how easy the diagrams would be to follow with no macrame background. But maybe.
