TALE OF THE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS

About Friendship Bracelets

Friendship Bracelets make excellent presents for friends and relatives.
The time you spend making one and choosing the design makes it a
very personal gift.

What Are They?
Friendship bracelets are knotted or braided cotton bands which are
given as a token of friendship - though you can make them for
yourself too!  You can wear them tied around your wrist or ankle.

Where Are They From?
Knotted, patterned friendship bracelets originally came from Central
and South America.

What Do They Mean?
As well as being a sign of friendship, they are meant to bring good
luck to the wearer.  Make a wish when you are given one.  It is
supposed to come true when the bracelet finally wears out and falls
off, but only if the bracelet has never been removed.
