Fabric Friendship Bracelet Tutorial //
Materials:
-3 strips of fabric, 10″ long by .75″ wide
-Jewelry Endcaps
-Glue
- Cut 3 strips of fabric 3/4″ wide by 10″ long. *Use 1″ wide strips for a thicker variation
2. Fold long edges of strips in so they meet in the middle. Press.
3. Fold strip in half so the raw edges are enclosed. Press well.
4. Stitch strip to secure. Repeat with all 3 strips.
5. Glue ends of strips together with a dab of glue between each one. Create a stack.
6. Glue end of stack into endcap hardware.
7. Press into the hardware as far as it will go and let dry.
8. Braid strips. Continue until your bracelet is the desired length.
9. When it is as long as you want, glue ends together.
10. Clip ends.
11. Glue other side into the other side of jewelry hardware.
12. Clip the bracelet together and you’re done!
For a thicker bracelet (like the green, blue and purple one above) use 1″ wide strips.
I hope you enjoyed this project and can put it to good use this holiday season! I regularly blog at See Kate Sew where I design fabric, patterns and share free tutorials for sewing and more! I’d love to see you over there!

thanks for your help!!
What kind of glue did you use?
What kind of glue do you use? I’m envisioning it falling apart pretty quick if it’s not done with the right glue and would love a pointer on that! Thanks 🙂
