Friendship bracelets are special bracelets given from one friend to another as a symbol of friendship. They are handmade and usually made out of embroidery floss or thread. There are various styles and patterns, but most are based on the same simple half-hitch knot. The making of friendship bracelets is a version of macrame. The amount of thread used in bracelets can and usually does vary. The smallest pattern, a double chain knot, requires two strings. The candy stripe can have as few as three strings and as many as forty, based on pattern and thickness. Because of their versatility, they are worn by both males and females of all ages. They are particularly popular with pre-teen and adolescent girls and with present-day hippies, deadheads or Rainbow Family participants. Thicker bracelets are commonly worn by both male and female surfers. History and traditionsThe knot-craft and hand weaving used to create traditional patterns stems from Native American handcrafts, particularly from Central American tradition. According to indigenous tradition, the recipient of a friendship bracelet must wear it until the cords wear out and fall off naturally. The idea is that the friend paid for it with the hard work and love that made it, and the recipient repays the friend by honoring the work. Removing the bracelet before it naturally falls off is a sign that the friendship has gone sour. Another variation of this tradition is that the recipient of a bracelet is entitled to a wish. After the bracelet wears out and falls off naturally, the wish will come true. From Wikipedia under the

Q. im about to go on a long trip, and i'm taking my friendship bracelet string. anyone have any cool designs (and preferably directions)? i need some sites with really cool designs, i already know how to make the diagonal one and the spiral one. i dont want to spend any money.

This is a cool site with tons of pictures for ideas, but she does charge $1 for each pattern, so if you don't want to spend any money, you probably just want to use this for inspiration. This site is awesome - it has instructions, diagrams, and over a thousand patterns. And it's free this is the forum of Heather's Friendship Bracelet site and you can link from here to other patterns. Or, google for her main site and she has lots of free patterns posted too Answered by Carolyn D - Fri Jul 3 13:09:26 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Friendship bracelet"
