Choosing colors for our bracelets
Braided Friendship Bracelets – June 18, 2026
On July 18, we met to awaken our muscle memories and make friendship bracelets. Most braided friendship bracelets are based on forward and backwards knots. Tying those knots together in various orders and color combinations can result in candy stripes, chevrons, hearts, or any number of patterns! Although many of us remembered making these bracelets in the past, remembering how to recreate the patterns was harder than expected – especially while chatting!
If you want to try your hand at making a friendship bracelet, grab some yarn or embroidery floss and check out the How to Make Friendship Bracelets class on Creative Bug. All you need is your library card number!
