Gospel Friendship Bracelets

Teach the girls we are all daughters of our Heavenly Father and that we should treat each other with respect and friendship to all that come.

Scissors
3 feet (.9 m) each of 3 different colors of embroidery floss- 6 strands each
tape
pencil

1. Lay the 3 lengths of floss on a table next to each other and tie them together in a knot at one end. Secure the knotted end to the table with the tape.

2. Make sure all the strands of floss are smoothed out. Twist all the strands together by rubbing the free ends between your thumb and first(pointer) finger. This is the easiest way, but if it is too hard, you can tie the ends of the string to pencil and use it to twist the string. Keep twisting the string and gently pulling until the strands are so twisted that when you stop pulling, they try to twist into knots. The strands will look like a rope, but don't let go or they will come apart.

3.While holding the ends with one hand, pinch the middle of the rope with your other hand. Keeping the strands pulled out tight, fold the rope in half. Then let go of the middle and let the rope twist itself together. If there are extra loops or bumps, gently stretch and smooth rope.

4. Remove the tap and tie another knot that includes all the loose ends and previous knot.
