Assignment 20 How to Make Friendship Bracelets

Tired of being lonely? Looking for a friendly gesture to bring you closer to an anacquaintance or a present to keep someone from forgetting about you? Friendship bracelets are the perfect casual (and beautiful) gift. You will need is scissors, four 56'' strings, some tape, a big heart, and a person to give the finished product to. One of my favorite friendship bracelets is the broken ladder bracelet, which consists of stylish chevrons and quirky "ladders" of knots. First, take your four strings of different colors and crease them into two halves and tie a knot about a half inch from the top of the fold, making a loop at the top of your string structure. Then, separate the strings, making two sides of mirroring colors (for example, if your colors are fucia, baby food green, commie red, and fungus yellow, and you have folded your strings to make eight 28 inch strings, you should now have a pattern of fucia, baby food green, commie red, fungus yellow, fungus yellow, commie red, baby food green and fucia). Then take the leftmost  string (fucia), making 2 left to right loops on each of the next 3 strings (baby food green, commie red, and fungus yellow). Then take the rightmost string (the other fucia) and make 2 right to left loops on each of the next three strings. The two fucia strings should now be in the middle of your fetus bracelet structure. Take the fucia string on the right and make two right to left loops onto the other fucia string to consummate the first chevron (or "v" shape). Repeat this for the next three colors, but without tying the finishing knot on the last chevron.Gather the three inner strings on the left side (left baby food green, commie red, and fungus yellow) and loop the leftmost string (now fucia again) around all three strings ten times. Do the same in the righthand side. You should have two mirroring elegant spirals of fucia on your infant bracelet. repeat the above steps over and over and over and over again until you have a garment that is approximately the circumference of the wrist of your muse. You now have a full grown bracelet child. All that's left to do is give it away, make a friend, and make  somebody pregnant with joy.
