Why would your teen, or anyone, want to learn how to make friendship bracelets? Mostly because they are fun, but also because you can share your friendship bracelets with friends. There are all different types and patterns, plus the threads come in every color of the rainbow - endless combinations of friendship bracelets are obtainable!

Here are a few tips to getting started, then traverse that other pages for the basic instructions and some friendship bracelet patterns.

• Use embroidery floss and keep them organized from the start. There are organizers and thread holders that will help you or your teen know what colors you have and keep them from knotting up and being useless.
• In your friendship bracelet kit you will need your embroidery floss, scissors, measureing tape or ruler, safety pin or masking tape.
• Give yourself some time to learn the steps. It takes a lot of patience to learn but it's like riding a bike, once you make friendship bracelets, you'll never forget it. Start with an easy pattern, but don't be too afraid to try the harder ones!
