V-shaped braided friendship bracelet with 6 strandsNEW!

[For Beginners] This is what it looks like when you make a V-shaped woven friendship bracelet with 6 strings.

Here’s how to make a V-pattern friendship bracelet, one of the classic designs.

Use six strands of embroidery floss.

Tie an overhand knot and secure it to the table, then separate the strands into three on the left and three on the right.

The two inner strands create the V pattern, so make them a different color from the outer strands.

Work 4-shaped knots from the outer sides toward the center.

After finishing the first row, move to the second row: from the left edge make 4-shaped knots, and from the right edge make reverse 4-shaped knots.

Repeat this process to complete the V pattern.

How to make a misanga good-luck charm

Use three embroidery threads to make a friendship bracelet, then attach a strap fitting to finish it as a charm.

Next, start braiding from the leftmost strand using the number-4 knot.

Basically, repeat this knotting method to make the bracelet, and once you’ve finished, trim off the unbraided portions.

Apply glue to both ends to prevent unraveling.

Fold the bracelet in half, insert both ends together into the fitting, secure it, and you’re done.
