How To- Fishtail Friendship Bracelet

Just yesterday I made a fishtail friendship bracelet and I figured I could share with you how to make one!

Step 1

I used 6 pieces of string to make this bracelet, you can use more or less but I figured six would be just right.

Cut the strings a little bit longer than your wrist, probably about 1-2 inches longer.

These are the colors I used, but you can use whatever you want.

Step 2

Wrap a small section around your finger and tie a knot to make a small loop.

Try to make the strings on the end shorter than what  I did, you don't want to cut away

 from the already pretty short length of the string.

Step 3

Now, you want to fishtail the bracelet.  If you know how to fishtail hair, perfect! If you don't, well, here's how!

First, split the string into two groups, both groups should have 3 strings in them if you decided on a total of six strings.  Then, take one string from the end of one of the groups and bring it over the other strings in the group and into the other group.  Now take the string all the way at the end in the other group and bring that into the first group.  Continue with this until you have a lot of space on the end (but not too much.)

Step 4

Tie a knot on the very end and attach a bead in front of the knot.  Then tie a knot after the bead to secure it.

This is the bead I used, sorry it's hard to see!

Your done! This is what mine looked like:

Happy Crafting!
