Description:

i don't know about the rest of you, but i absolutly love making, giving and receiving friendship bracelets! it's such a joy to give one to a friend and see the smile that lights up their face. and friendship bracelets are a pretty cheap thing to make or buy, so i thought it would be neat to start a swap where we send friendship bracelets to our partners!

so for this swap, you will have two partners, and you will send each of them two friendship bracelets each. these can be made or bought, but i'm sure we would all prefer it if they were handmade by you! if you are unsure of the type of friendship bracelet i mean, i basically mean anything that is braided out of thread. just check out the picture up there! but please, nothing made entirely out of beads of anything, that is not what i consider a friendship bracelet. if you want to incorporate beads into your bracelets that's fine, just don't make the entire thing out of them please!

if you want to make your bracelets but are unsure how, simply google 'friendship bracelets' and you'll find some pretty easy to follow tutorials, or check out one of the ones linked below!

this swap is going to be international, since it's not hard to stick a couple of bracelets in an envelope and send them off, and it's going to be open to newbies with a filled out profile as well as experienced members!

if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

Yes!! I think I've been waiting since about 1993 for this swap to come along!

Even has a pattern generator.

I'd join if there were more days between the partner sign ups and send by dates. I'd like to have time to make something really nice and with the colors they'd like and so on.

id like to join this. i miss all mine from middle school. i had a whole arm full. but my fingers wont allow me to make them anymore.. wahhhhhh....

Just wondering, how long does it take you to make a friendship bracelet? I find if I make one with about 8 threads it takes only about an hour or so. (of course if you're reading this and never made one before, it will take longer on your first few tries...) That's one of the things I like about them though, they're cool, pretty fun little things and they don't take that much time.

Woo hoo! I'm excited about this!

Here are two other great sites: http://www.friendship-bracelets.de/index.php?site=_home002.php

In case my potential swap partner is reading this, I have tiny wrists: 5.5" diameter.

Yay! I'm so excited! :D Well to my partner, my wrist is about 7 inches around (yikes! big wrists! D:). And I don't care what it's made out of! Embroidery thread, hemp, yarn, anything! :D I'm so excited! I love making these!

you could also buy them if you can't make them. There is a great store filled with friendship bracelets on etsy.
