friendship bracelets
I remember making friendship bracelets back when I was a kid. at camp, secretly while in school or with friends. one time I made one with 20 different colors. it was an inch wide!
I love the bright colors used in these from Purl Bee.
Nope, not ready to go back to friendship bracelets! I just can’t ;)
Ahh some things just never get old :-) Love the colors!
love these! i used to make them all the time too! maybe we should start again!!

Oh wow, nostalgia overload! There were so many afternoons when my girlfriends and I would go to Woolworth’s around the corner from our school to pick out colors for our bracelets and then go to an ice cream shop or 7-Eleven… some of my happiest memories.
i just started making some for my friends, and i can’t get them to lie flat – they always bulge up on the left-hand side. any suggestions? yours look pretty darn awesome! :)
I really crave making some right now! I jused to make bracelets on request for my classmates when I was about 11, even the boys!
Love them!!!
I’ve been hosting a little weekly craft night with some girlfriends and we’ve been preoccupied with these a lot lately. I think they’re cute and fun for summer time, especially updated with yarn or sturdy fibers instead of thread and simple brass clasps instead of a knot.
I’m so glad these are coming back. I used to make tons of them when I was in middle school growing up. I just made a new one for myself – a 6 color chevron with a vintage button for the clasp – and love it all over again :)
Cool! Check out my friendship bracelet website (you can find handmade bracelets with designs like flowers, cupcakes, dresses, and much more!!!): http://www.braceletsbydesign.weebly.com
I was recently inspired by Purl to make some friendship bracelets, too. it’s so relaxing and perfect for doing in front of a movie.
@Emily — the button closure is great idea!!
I used to craft these bracelets when I was really young. I did it for lots of my friends.
This make me remind the lost friends. Thanks.
