Friendship Bracelets
Anyone looking at the youth in the 80s probably didn’t notice how many were wearing bracelets of string and yarn around wrists and ankles. Friendship bracelets were quite the rage for a while, and as with all fashion, faded into the background again. These bracelets ranged from a simple braid, to complex weaving complete with beads. Many of us who made them felt rather proud to create something in between.
If you would like to make one of these for yourself or a friend, there are a few tutorials online.
