FIRST, PICK YOUR COLORS. ANYWHERE FROM THREE TO A DOZEN WORKS BEST. THESE ARE MINE. SEE HOW THEY MATCH YOUR EYES?

SECOND, PRACTICE YOUR KNOTS. THEY CAN GO BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS, TIGHT OR LOOSE. PRACTICE LETTING GO. EVEN WHEN IT’S HARD.

THIRD, OPTION TO ADD EXTRAS. THE SPARKLY BEADS ARE MY FAVORITE, BUT OTHER GREAT CHOICES INCLUDE STARS AND MEMORIES.

FOURTH, WEAVE IT ALL TOGETHER. BRAID THE STRING, LOOP THE BEADS, AND TUCK IN THE PIECES OF YOUR HEART. TAKE CARE TO TIE A STRONG KNOT WHEN YOU FINISH.

LASTLY, PRESENT THE BRACELET. WHEN YOU PLACE IT, THE RECIPIENT CAN MAKE A WISH. I HOPE IT COMES TRUE.

CONGRATS! YOU’VE MADE YOUR VERY OWN FRIENDSHIP BRACELET. IT’S A SIGN OF CARE AND LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, I HOPE YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
