Hey guys,

I am supposed to be teaching a little friendship bracelet class to some Mexicans. Mexicans are not all that amazingly creative!
I once tried to teach some Canadian 11 year old friend how to make the spiral bracelet. It seems her knots were too lose. I tried to tell her that, but she kept making them lose, even though she was trying not to.
I am expecting to heave people maybe ages 10 and up coming to my class so...I need help.
-Does anyone have any ideas how I could teach bracelets well? Like, I mean, what designs should I teach them to make? I want them to be pretty easy to begin with.
-Does anyone have any tips I can maybe use to teach them to make the knots tight and neat enough?
Please...help me! I will be open to any suggestions anyone has...!

Thanks!!!

When I started teaching my daughter to make friendship bracelets. I started with the candy stripe. The very first bracelet I learned how to make. It takes time and a lot of practice. After she understood the forwards knot I taught her how to make the Chinese staircase. And now she is working on the chevron. I know we have videos on here for the very basic and beginning bracelets. I would watch those and see how they word their instructions. Maybe that will help you show other people of do make bracelets.

Those are some very good ideas! Thank you so much. I will try those. :-)

You are very welcome
