Embroidery floss
If you’ve been wanting to make a friendship bracelet to show off your creative skills, this tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating your own custom design. The pattern requires you to tie forward knots, so be sure to practice before you begin! Start by tying four strands of embroidery floss, each about 36 inches long. Secure the first string with a simple overhand knot, and secure the second strand with tape or clipboard. With your left hand, begin to tie forward knots.
Next, tie a knot on each end of the second strand. Repeat the process to create a second row of strands. Tie a double knot at the center of the outer strands and clip each end. Continue to make rows of strands, until the bracelet is long enough to be worn. You can secure it with a knot, if desired. To add a lightning bolt charm to your bracelet, simply tie another knot in a second row of strands.
To add a little extra flair to your friendship bracelet, consider making one with Chinese characters. These Chinese characters are Zhi Zuo nonouhauwo, Suo Shu kurieitawo, Ding Qi De ni, Jia Zhi wo, Nu Li wo. Make a lightning bolt friendship bracelet with the Chinese characters for the best results!

Once the bracelet is completed, it’s time to give it a final look!
