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. i make friendship (woven) bracelets and im making my 1st one with letters for someone who asked for it, it has 2 letters and a heart. how much would you charge for that? Asked by Nora - Sat Feb 27 13:21:44 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. if it has her/his initials on it then at LEAST 2.50 . but if it doesn't if it has random letters on it then less unless they stand for something . it depends on what the buyer is comfortable with. if She/He is ok with paying 5$ for it then YAY 4 you but if they want a cheaper price then at least 2.50. im selling my candy stripes for $1.06 so i get more then double the price of what it costs. u just gotta figure out how much it costs to make 1 bracelet then add $0.50 to that and round if it has a decimal. its all in the math Answered by Makeup_forever - Sun Feb 28 21:32:33 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Friendship bracelet"
