Bestie Bracelets 

One for me; one for you! 


Materials:

  • Elastic cording for friendship bracelets
  • Colorful beads
  • Letter beads
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue or instant glue (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Your elf will estimate a length of cording to fit your (or their) wrist.
  2. Without cutting the cord, they will tie an anchor knot just past this length so that the beads don’t slide too far down the cording.
  3. They will arrange their beads and then thread them onto the elastic cording.
  4. When they fill the open cording to the end, they will loop the cording and tie it into a double knot, onto itself, making a loop-shaped bracelet.
  5. They will cut the extra cording from both ends.
  6. They may choose to put a dot of glue on the knot for extra reinforcement.
  7. Finally, they will leave their bestie bracelets and bracelet-making supplies for you to find, so that you can join in their crafting fun!
