How you make retro friendship bracelets
Work with the colours you like, the same colour or different colours
Cut 3 threads of 60 - 65 cm long.
Fold double and tie a small loop.
Catch the loop under the clamp.
Spread the threads wide.
Work from the outside in, lay right over left
Lay the 2 outside right pink in the middle.
Put the 2 left hot pink on top.
Repeat this with the 2 other colours.
Keep going until you have enough lengt.
Tie a knot at the end of your braid.
Tie a button on the end.
Cut off the excess of the threads.
Your first bracelet is now ready! We made the first one a little longer and braided a little looser, this one was made for a mom
The loop fits over the button.
One mini monster makes a blue one.
Braid a little tighter for a smaller wrist.
Happy Summer!
