Flower Bracelet Tutorial
Use basic knots to make a flower-patterned friendship bracelet!
Materials
- 2 strands - Yellow Embroidery Thread - A few inches longer than around your wrist
- 2 strands - Green Embroidery Thread - Double the length of your yellow
- 4 strands - Pink Embroidery Thread - Same length as the green
Tools
- Scissors
- Binder Clip
Instructions
- Gather all the strands of thread and tie a knot at one end. Clip the knotted end to a flat surface. Begin with creating a square knot with the green string around the pink and yellow strings.
- Add multiple green square knots before starting the first flower. How many you make is up to you!
- To start the flower pull the green strings into the middle, with the yellow. Start a square knot with the pink. You will be holding 2 pink strings at a time. Make sure to get it nice and snug under the green square knot.
- Create the second half of the square knot. This is the top of your flower.
- Next, pull the right green string off to the side. Using 2 of the pink strings together create a 1/2 backward knot. Pull tight and slide up the green.
- Follow this with a 1/2 forward knot on the same string. This completes a backward forward knot and the flower petal should be off to the right hand side.
- Create a second petal by repeating another backward forward knot.
- Next, move to the left hand side. You will create 2 forward backward knots to make 2 petals on the left. This is the same process as before. Except you will create a 1/2 forward knot followed by a 1/2 backward knot twice.
- Using the yellow strands create the center by completing a forward knot.
- To complete the flower create one final square knot with the pink strings. Around the green and yellow strings.
- Bring the green strings back around to the outside and start on your next section of green square knots.
- You can tighten the green square knots up under the flowers by pulling the rest of the strings side to side once you have a few knots down.
- You can also use your fingers to pinch and shape the flowers a bit if you need!
- Keep creating flowers and green until you are happy with the size of your bracelet. Tie off the end and you're done!
Notes
We are using two pink strands at a time. This makes the flower bigger.
