How to Make a Bracelet

There’re loads of different techniques for making string friendship bracelets. We describe one right here on the Rockbrook Camp website: How to make a Friendship Bracelet. But there’s another way that uses a knot you probably already know and use for a different purpose. Tying your shoes! Yep, the same basic knot, pulling one strand over and around the second is it. Then you just alternate which string you move… like this (holding the two strings in each hand): right over the left, left over the right, right over the left, and so on. This makes kind of an alternating square knot, and depending on what colors you choose, it looks very cool.  So hey, go get some string and get started!
