Friendship Bracelet Patterns _ DIY Chevron Friendship Bracelet

Welcome back to HGTV Handmade. I've been obsessed with friendship bracelets since I was in middle school, but I don't think you're ever too old to wear them. So today I'm going to show you a very simple chevron design. Just pick your three favorite colors and let's get started. You will need a pair of scissors, a few buttons, a ruler, and embroidery floss. Pick any three colors and then cut two strands of each color that measure 30 inches each. You'll have a total of six strands. Line them all up and then fold them in half. Then create a loop at the top by forming a knot like so. You'll clip this to a clipboard and then you can get started. Spread out your colors like I've done here. You'll want each side to mirror the other. Take the outside color and move it diagonally across so that it's on the inside. Take the same color on the left and move it diagonally across so that it's also on the inside. Tighten this up a bit before moving on. Move to the next color. Take the outside color and move it to the inside. Same color on the left and cross it over so that it's also on the inside. Again, I'm tightening this up so that you can see the chevron start to form. And that's how you'll continue for the whole bracelet. It's really as simple as moving the outside strands to the inside, then tightening as you go so that the chevron forms nicely. Let's get a closer look. Again, bring the outside strands to the inside and then tighten. There are no fancy complicated knots involved, just moving strings from left to right until your bracelet is long enough. When you're done, take all of the strands and form a knot at the end. You'll have a bunch of excess strands, so pick two of these and thread them through a button. Then tie a knot to secure the button. You can cut off any of the excess strands and you're all done. The button fits into the loop that you made in the beginning so that you can easily take the bracelet on and off instead of having to tie it on and cut it off. And that's all there is to it.
