Friendship Bracelets
Summertime is just around the corner. Summertime is when best friends do activities together. It is a time to make memories and trinkets to remind us of those special memories.
One of those favorite trinkets is the friendship bracelet. Take a look at this method of using a cardboard loom to make a bracelet. No complicated patterns to try and braid, just turn the loom and move the yarn or embroidery floss one notch over!
