5 to 6 years ago me and my friend Caleb we have been best friends since kindergarten.......we went to the same summer camp together and then he came up to me after he was done and he made me a bracelet and I loved it so then I asked him to show me..........and from then on I have been making bracelets.

I learned at my summer camp and then when I had got back home I got a whole bunch of string. Then school started and I really did t do it anymore and then one day I was scrolling through Pinterest and I saw bracelet and clicked the website. Then my addiction came back and know I’m making note then just the basic candy stripe

so, mine’s a bit different than everyone else’s haha. about two years ago, i was doing a suicide awareness day at my school. i wanted to make some bracelets to hand out to my friends. i was looking around craft stores, and then i found a friendship bracelet kit. i started out with a single colored candy stripe, and i went from there! now i make alphas, normals, and shaped bracelets. i’ve made a lot of progress with both my mental health and my bracelet hobby.

I started because my sister was given string and she wasn't interested in friendship bracelets so she gave it to me and I started making them since it was fun and I always though they were cool to look at🙂

I started when someone got me a bracelet kit as a gift. I did a few, but I was really young and I did not have a long attention span. Then in March, I found this website and I thought it would be fun to try some. Then I thought it was so much fun and now I'm selling them!

I had come across a youtube video on how to make a chevron and i thought it was pretty so i started making chevron bracelets. I simply got bored of making them so left bracelet making and found a new hobby. Two months ago I found youtube channels full of bracelet tutorials, and then I started making bracelet again!

3 years ago, I had horrible pain and was stuck in the hospital for days before they realized I needed emergency surgery. For the next 2 months I couldn’t really do anything. I received a friendship bracelet kit as a gift and it had a book with a few simple tutorials. I started making some simple bracelets like braids, chinese staircases, and mixing of both. I have no diagnosis, so no way to stop these things from happening so I’ve had several other emergency surgeries but recovery was shorter since we knew what was happening and I didn’t need to sit there for days. Anyways after every surgery it gives me time to focus on new bracelets and I’ve gotten much better!

I started making friendship bracelets when I was about 8 at summer camp and one of the counsellors taught me how to make a Chinese stair case and I just stopped making them after about a month because they got boring and I thought it was the only pattern then when I went back the next year one of my friends that I met there she taught me how to make a Candy Stripe

Mines pretty rubbish but I always knew that string bracelets were a thing, as someone gave me one a few years ago,, and at the beginning of quarantine I got really into embroidery, long story short I ended up trying it out for a laugh and got pretty addicted

My 4th grade French teacher taught us how to make Chinese staircases, chevrons, and candy stripes. A couple years later I wanted to get back into the hobby, so I found some thread around my house and looked up patterns on Google. Then I came across Masha Knots' YouTube channel, and she mentioned BraceletBook in one of her videos. I'm so glad I joined BraceletBook because its such an amazing community and its so much easier to find patterns!

I started when I was 13 when my mom first gave me a bunch of threads and I learned using YouTube. Then I stopped for a awhile. But I started again during quarantine and now I am unstoppable 😂 I used to only do chevrons when I started but now I pretty much do everything!

I needed a present for a friend and got bored one night for about 2 months ago so I made a bordered chevron. After that, I started finding channels about friendship bracelet making and went on from there, learning mostly from youtube.

My dad taught me how to make really simple friendship bracelets when I was around 10 years old. When I was 13 years old, I started making friendship bracelets from patterns. I'm now 17 and I still enjoy it!

When I was 10, my uncle gave me this book that came with a pack of 150 skeins about Friendship Bracelets for Christmas, in the book it had the CandyStripe, Chevron, Diamond, Heart and a few other small patterns; so got into bracelet making that way. After a while of that I went online and would see blogs with other patterns on, and then came across Alpha Patterns, and expanded that way.I stopped for a few years, before picking it back up when I was around 18. 🙂 |

I was in eight grade and now I’m a freshman in university. My mom hated that I was on my phone too much so she showed me how to make a chinese staircase. I later found videos for candy stripes and chevrons. I never imagined that there was such a big community. I found alphas through Masha. I later figured out you can make anything from bracelets and basically fell in love

In january of 2020 i was at my friends b-day party and we played that thing were you have a gift with a bunch of different layers and you pass it around until the music stops and then whoever it lands on they unwrap the first layer (wooh that was a long sentence!) So when it landed on me i unwrapped a tiny bucket that had 2 skeins of embroidery floss and terrible instructions. So like 3 weeks.later i tried to follow the instructions but twas confuzzling so i searched up how to do a chevron and i made my first chevron that had 16 string!!!!
