Friendship Bracelets
Friendship bracelets, a fashion accessory once attributed to
young girls, can now be found on the wrists of people of all
ages.
Friendship bracelets are bracelets that are generally hand made
by one person and then given to another as a symbol of the
friendship. The bracelet can be crafted from one of a number of
different materials, including beads, hemp or wool.
The bracelet is then placed on the wrist of the friend. It
shouldn't be removed manually because if it is that is a sign
that the friendship is over. Instead it should be left on and if
it falls off on its own, that's not considered damaging to the
friendship.
There are many friendship bracelets craft kits available for
purchase. These usually contain all the basics for making
friendship bracelets. Young girls especially like receiving
these kits for gift. It allows them to make several friendship
bracelets which they can then share with the best buddies.
Friendship bracelets have also become popular as a way for a
person to show they are smitten with another. Many teenage boys
and girls make a friendship bracelet and then present it to the
person they like. It's assumed that if you accept the bracelet
you are also interested. Many teenagers are sporting them.
The color of friendship bracelets can be varied. Many are made
from hemp or rope with the addition of colorful beads. The
bracelets themselves are a tan color while the beads are said to
reflect the personality of the person who gave the bracelet.
The process of making the friendship bracelets isn't complicated
at all. There are many instructional booklets available that
detail the process.
Most friendship bracelets are comprised of a number of knots in
the material. Once you've made one bracelet it's fairly simple
to make more. It's a matter of practice.
One of the simplest types of friendship bracelets to make
involves looping the cording or rope through a serious of beads.
Once you've completed attaching all of the beads you then tie
off the ends.
Glue is often used as a reinforcing agent during the making of
friendship bracelets. It also acts as an agent that stops the
cord or rope from unraveling.
The majority of friendship bracelets are simply tied onto the
wrist. Once the bracelet is completed the person giving it will
hold it around their friend's wrists and tie it at an
appropriate length. It's important to be careful not to tie the
bracelet snugly around the wrist. There should be some room left
under the bracelet to run a finger through. No one wants the
friendship bracelet they gave to cut off the circulation of
their recipient.
Adults are also beginning to wear friendship bracelets. They can
be a gift from one person to another or they can also be
purchased ready made and worn yourself. In addition to being a
reminder of a fond childhood memory they actually go well with
many casual outfits.
Friendship bracelets can be worn by anyone regardless of gender
or age. They are a lovely way of showing your feelings for
another person. They are also an interesting and innovative
fashion accessory.
