They say “more is more” and with these bracelets you can add a pop of color to your arm candy while keeping it subtle with leather, you CAN have it all!
What you’ll need to make your Friendship Bracelets:
- 1/8” Leather Laces – I used 20” long pieces for each bracelet
- Embroidery floss
- Glue
- Scissors
- Tape
- Needle
Step 1
Measure your wrist by wrapping the leather lace around your wrist loosely twice and then add an extra 4 inches for knotting.
Tape one end of your leather lace down and starting at least 2 inches down, place a drop of glue on the leather lace and attach the end of your first color of embroidery floss.

Step 2
Continue wrapping your embroidery floss around your leather lace until you have made a stripe as wide as you want with your first color. When it’s as wide as you want, cut the end leaving about a half inch tail and glue that tail to your leather lace.

Step 3
Take your 2nd color of embroidery floss and glue the end down on top of the previous colors end. Wrap until you have made this stripe the width you want and secure the end as you did in step 2.
Continue doing steps 2 and 3 until you have about 2 inches of color stripes with your embroidery floss.

Step 4
When you are finished wrapping, take your needle and run the end of your embroidery floss through your wrappings. If you want you can add a small drop of glue to make sure your embroidery floss doesn’t come unwrapped.

Step 5
Tie the end of your lace that is closest to the wrapping around the other side of the leather lace. Just make a simple knot. It should be tight but the leather lace should slide through, this is how you will adjust your bracelet.
