How To Make A Chevron Friendship Bracelet With Pictures

The more strings you use, the more complex your color arrangements will be and the wider the width of your bracelet. Use whatever colors you want; just make sure that you have two strands of every single color that you choose.

You can clip it to your clipboard, safety pin it to your pants or a pillow, or tape it to your work surface. You can also use a binder clip with a binder or book. Alternatively, you can just tie it to a drawer handle.

Pretend there is an imaginary line in the middle and create the same color pattern with the string on both sides of the line.

To tie a right knot, make a ninety-degree angle with the tying string over the top of the string you are tying it to. Then loop the tying string underneath the other string and pull tight. Note: Remember to make two knots on each string. Once you have knotted the outer right string to the one next to it, do the same to the next string closer to the middle. Continue this process until you’ve reached the middle. Note: The string you began tying with (the outermost right string) should now be in the middle.

To tie a left knot, do the same as the right knot but reversed. Make a ninety-degree angle with the tying string over the top of the string you are tying it to and loop the tying string under the other string and pull it tight.

Note: If you have done everything correctly up to this point, the strands you are tying together in the middle will be the same color and you will begin to see the V-pattern emerge.

Alternatively, you can create a button-loop closure for the bracelet. Attach a button to one side by pulling any two strands through the holes in the button. Then, tie the strands together and cut off the excess of all strands (even the ones not used for the button). On the other end of the bracelet, there should already be a loop that exists between the knot at the end and the place where the knots begin. Pull the button through the loop once you have finished all the steps.

Once you’ve cut all of the thread, fold the bundle of strands in half and cut at the center. This will leave you with 16 strands in total.

Alternatively, you can safety pin it to your pants, tie it to a dresser drawer, or clip it on a clipboard.

For example, your pattern may look like this: 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 Pretend there is an imaginary line in the middle and create the same color pattern with the string on both sides of the line. Then repeat this pattern again.

Note: If you have done everything correctly up to this point, the strands you are tying together in the middle will be the same color and you will begin to see the double V-pattern emerge.
