Make matching bracelets with a friend or make bracelets with different colors. Braid your bracelet then make a wish as you have your friend tie on your bracelet. Rumor has it, that if you wear the bracelet until it falls off by itself, your wish will come true.

BRACELETS

Cut two 16” strands of each color of yarn.

Hold all 6 strands together and tie a knot at one end of the bundle. Secure knot end of yarn to a table or desk with tape or place in clipboard. Separate yarn strands into three different groups, with 2 different colors in each group.

While holding all three groups of yarn, braid the groups together as follows. Move the left hand group over the middle group to the center. Move the right hand group over the new middle to the center. Keeping the groups tight, continue to alternate moving the outermost groups over the middle groups to the center until you reach the end of the yarn. Tie off end with a knot.
