Friends love it when you make them something special and they'll love this V is for Victory Friendship Bracelet! Supplies: three colors of thread.

4 colors of embroidery thread (six feet long)
tape
ruler

REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Cut the thread into 6 foot pieces. To measure the thread, just wrap it around a 12 inch ruler 3 times and then cut off your piece. 12 inches equals one foot, so wrapping the thread around the ruler 3 times will give you 6 feet.
  2. When you’re finished measuring your thread, put all the pieces together and double them over. Then tie a knot in the middle. You should now have eight pieces of thread. Next, tape your knot to your table top and then separate and fan out your colors. Make sure that the left side is a mirror image of the right side.
  3. Start with the left side and the color farthest to the left. Create the shape of the #4 across the next color. Loop the thread through the opening of the “4” you just created, and pull the knot tight all the way to the top. Repeat the process once more for a total of 2 knots on the same thread with the same color. Continue with the left side, putting 2 knots on each color until you reach the center.
  4. You’re going to be doing the same steps on the right side of your bracelet as you did on the left side, except this time you’ll make a backwards knot. Take the thread and create a backwards “4,” and loop the thread through the opening. Pull the knot tight all the way to the top and repeat once for a total of 2 knots on the same thread. Continue with the right side, putting 2 knots on each color until you reach the center. Use the thread on the right side to create 2 center knots with the thread on the left side. Place the thread that you just tied the knot with on the left.
  5. Repeat the steps for both sides of your bracelet with all of the colors until you’ve reached your desired length of bracelet! The last thing you need to do is tie the bracelet on your arm or a friends and you’re done!
