Q&A for How to Make a Chevron Friendship Bracelet

It is called embroidery floss. It can be found at craft stores.

In my experience, threading the bracelet through the loop and tying it back onto itself works best.

I put half of the strings on one side and the other half in my hands so it’s easier to know what string I'm on.

The minimum is 3. It will look best with 5+ strings, but you can use as many as you want.

Possibly. I went to my local craft store and got 5 spools of embroidery floss for 5 cents each.

Yes, if you are going for a bulkier look.

You have to attach the gems while you are doing it, but they need to be the kind with a small key ring or else they will fall out and you will have a hole in your bracelet.

Yes, use as many strings as you want.

You can find the materials to make a chevron bracelet at a craft store, like Hobby Lobby or Michael's.

If it's possible to untie it, then untie the whole thing and start fresh. If not, get new thread and start all over.

It will probably take about 40 minutes. It depends on the quality of the bracelet and how practiced you are at making them.

It depends how quick you are with your hands. I would say it takes around 10 - 20 minutes.

You really can't at the beginning, but once you get the first few rows done, they stay in order.

Embroidery floss works best, you can also use yarn if you want a bulkier look.

Take the measurement and multiply it by 2. Six to the second is 12 so, you should use a foot.

Use 3 strands of string. Cut them 2 times your arm length, then fold them together so you get 6 strings.

Sometimes, you just have to guesstimate. Hold the thread with one hand and pull the end out with the other, then repeat this. If you do this for the rest of the threads, it should be long enough. If it still seems too short, then make the threads a little longer. It is always better for it to be too long than too short because you can always cut it.

Yes, make two knots on each string before moving on to the next one. For example, if you’re using red and blue colors alternating, starting on the right side, tie a right knot on the second string (blue) and pull tightly. Then tie another right knot on the same string and pull tightly. Now you can move on to the next string beside it (red) and do the same thing.

You can use a ruler or a tape measure. Another method is to take the thread and hold it with one arm, then stretch it out to the other, then fold it in half. This makes for a suitable length with ease.

Yes, because there are a lot of strings to think about, and you also have to think about the pattern more.

Possibly make a style that has knots here and there like patches. It can be like "pebbles" or "crystals" in the bracelet. Other than that, try improving you technique with practice.

Yes, any brand of embroidery floss will work, being from a bracelet kit is probably better because that means it’s specifically for that.

Don't do the knot too tight when you tie it, so if it doesn't fit comfortably, you can always adjust it.

You can use string, but I think embroidery floss looks the best.
