Learn how to make your very own flower friendship bracelets, just like Katelyn does in her storybook “A Blizzard on Moose Mountain”!

These easy-to-make bracelets are perfect for giving as gifts to your dolls, your best friends, and your family members.

We bet you won’t be able to make just one! 😉

Supplies:

• Stretchy bead cord (0.7mm)
• Crafting beads (8mm)

Instructions:

1. Cut a long piece of cord (around 2.5 feet long)
2. Tie a few knots around 2 inches from the end of the cord
3. Thread 6 beads onto the cord for the flower
4. Loop back through the first bead and then add a yellow (or different color) bead for the center of the flower
5. Then loop through the bead next to the center of the flower on the opposite side
6. Add a couple of green beads (or different colored beads) as separators
7. Continue the process of making flowers by repeating steps #3-#6 until you have the desired length for the bracelet (and it fits around your wrist)
8. Tie a knot at the end of the bracelet, and then tie the two ends together a few times to make sure it’s secure
