DIY: FRIENDSHIP BRACELET!!!!

Today, i'll give you a step by step tutorial on the classic chevron pattern. If you use to whip up friendship bracelets like a champ in grade school and have since forgeten how, consider this a refresher course. and you made this with your eyes closed and your arms tied ... ummm can we still be friends?


YOU'LL NEED:

• embroidery thread
• a safety pin or tape
• a pair of scissors.

start by cutting several stands of embroidery thread at about 24 inches each. Make sure there are two sets of color. Combine a threads and a tie a knot, leaving at least 3 inches of lack. Tape it to a flat surface or safety pin it to a pillow. Separate the two sets, arranging the strands in a mirror image pattern with the outside  strands the same color and so on moving inwards.

 

Start on the left with the outermost color(shown here in red) and make the forward know by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd color,loop it under and back through the opening.

Pull up and to the right to tighten. Make the same knot twice over each color. Continue knotting over each color, towards the right, until the outermost color has carried over the middle. This one half of the chevron pattern.

Now pickup the outermost color (show here in red) and make a backward knot, creating a reverse 4-shape over the 2nd color, loop it under and back through the opening. Pull up and to the left tighten. Dont forget to knot twice each other color!

continue knotting towards the left until the outermost strands reaches the middle. Tie a backward knot with the two middle strands to connect the halves. Did you remember to knot twice? The first chevron row is complete! continue with the next color, which is now the outermost strand..

 

Remembering the color order is important for the first few rows but after the 3rd or 4th row, the strands will fall nicely in place. Finish it with a knot and a braid 

For the striped bracelet, cut one set of colors and simply carry the outermost color all the way through the right side. For an assymetrical  chevron, mix the colors when dividing them into 2 sets. Be sure to count the number of strands so you know when to stop in the middle each time. For an embellished bracelet, take a small piece of rhinestone chain, glue it to the top of the bracelet and stitch embroidery thread between each rhinestone with and embroidery needle.
