Instructions

  • Print off the template opposite and cut this out, make a cut along each of the small lines
  • Make a small hole in the middle using a pencil
  • Take 7 threads (use at least 2 or 3 different colours) and tie a knot in
  • the end together
  • Push the knot through the hole in the middle so that it sits against the back of the template and thread one strand through each of the slots, you should be left with one empty slot
  • Hold the loom so that the empty slot is at the top
  • Count 3 threads to the left and move this thread into the empty slot
  • Turn the loom so that the new empty slot is at the top
  • Count three threads to the left again and move this one into the empty slot
  • Repeat steps 6-8 and your friendship bracelet will grow from under
  • the loom
  • Keep going until your bracelet is long enough for your wrist, tie a knot in the end and then make another one for a friend!

Can't print? Don't worry!

If you don't have a printer then you can use any piece of card and just cut out a circle and mark it up for cutting using the image in the template as a guide.
