Letter Bead Bracelet Step 1

Customize this DIY friendship bracelet by adding your bestie’s name or any message you like!

Choose 3 colors of embroidery floss to use for your bracelet and cut 6 pieces of each color, about 12-13 inches long. We’re using blue, pink and orange. Line up all your floss pieces and tie a knot at the top end. You can tape the piece to your table to help you work.

Letter Bead Bracelet Step 2

Separate your colors and tape the pinks and oranges to your table. Start with blue and separate into groups of 2. Criss-cross braid your blue floss all the way down and make a knot at the end. Repeat with the orange section, then the pink section, but dont tie a knot just yet. 

Letter Bead Bracelet Step 3

String your letter beads onto the pink braid, spelling out whatever you'd like. Tie a knot at the end.

This DIY friendship bracelet takes a little more time but gives you a nice colorful pattern. It might be a little harder to visualize, so check out the video for reference.

Start by cutting 4 pieces of embroidery floss in the colors of your choosing. We’ll use pink, white, purple and blue.

Tie a knot at the top, leaving a tail for tying on the wrist. Tape this to your desk to help you work.

Starting with your pink floss, make a figure 4 over the white and loop it through, pulling the knot tight. Repeat this 3 times.

Continue with your pink floss, repeating with the purple floss and then the blue floss. Now use the white floss cycling through each color 4 times. Continue cycling through each color until your DIY friendship bracelet is the desired length.
