What are friendship bracelets?

A friendship bracelet is a type of hand-woven or braided bracelet that’s given from one person to another as a way to celebrate their friendship. These decorative bracelets are traditionally made from embroidery thread, but you’ll also find designs made in different materials including string, metal, beads, and leather. Although they’re common amongst kids and teens, adult friendship bracelets are very much on trend and a fun way to express affection towards your grown-up besties.

What types of friendship bracelets are popular?

Friendship bracelets are often handmade, and therefore they’re highly customizable. Small shops on Etsy can do the making for you and customize a design according to your pattern, color, and material preferences. Using colorful decorative knots or beads, string bracelets are a popular choice for friendship bracelets. You’ll also find flat bracelets, which can be made from embroidery floss, thin pieces of leather, or metal. As the name suggests, these types of bracelets have at least a partly flat surface, which makes it easy to add engraving, add letter beads, or other personalized messages. Chain bracelets are a popular choice for adult BFFs who want a decorative addition to their bracelet stack. Look for chain bracelets in an array of contemporary designs such as heart shapes, stars, gemstones, and pendants. Other bracelet types include multicolored woven chevron friendship bracelets , adorable daisy chains, and sleek cords.

How can you customize friendship bracelets?

Looking for a gorgeous friendship bracelet that’s truly one-of-a-kind? Many small shops on Etsy offer customizable options for creating your bracelet any way you like. Work with a talented seller to design a personalized friendship bracelet engraved with your bestie’s name. Wow your pal with a hand-stitched bracelet monogrammed with their initials. Or surprise that special someone with matching couple’s friendship bracelets featuring your anniversary date.

How do you make friendship bracelets?

Friendship bracelets are fun and relatively easy to create, plus they make great gifts for friends. On Etsy, you’ll find a wide range of DIY friendship bracelet patterns and friendship bracelet kits featuring a variety of decorative designs for everyone, from beginner braiders to expert weavers. Browse shops on Etsy to gather the supplies, instruction guides, and inspiration for crafting your own chevrons, hearts, waves, stripes, and many other friendship bracelet styles.
