The friendship bracelet craze is back in high demand this season. I was lucky enough to pick up some beautiful hand made Thai style bracelets on a recent trip to Thailand, which I love! However since being back I've felt its finally time dig out my DIY skills! Thanks to Honestly WTF who have a great DIY section which helped me brush up on my skills!
Materials:
**Scissors
**Measuring Tape
**Sticky Tape
**Sticky Tape
**Tapestry Cotton (cut each colour twice 77cm long)
1. Choose your colours & design. (Tip: take a photo for easy reference)
2. Tie a knot at one end.
3. Braid 6cm & tie another knot.
4. Separate threads into order of design.
5. Start with the colour that is on the outer left and side. Tie a forward knot. Pull Tight. Knot twice on each colour thread. Continue until the outer colour is now in the middle.
6. Begin from the right hand side. Tie a backwards knot. Pull Tight. Knot twice on each colour thread. Continue until the outer colour is now in the middle.
7. Tie one backwards knot with the 2 colours which are now in the middle.
8. Start back at step 1. (Tip: make sure you have easy access to your photo reference, as the first few rows it will be hard to see which colour is next. After a few rows are done it will be more defined and easier to follow.)
9. continue pattern for 11.5cm (or as desired.)
10. Knot, braid, know to finish it off!
