My Friendship Bracelet Maker

Description

I used to make these colorful bracelets with embroidery floss and we would safety-pin one end to our pant leg and braid away! This is much safer and smarter, and it makes the more complicated patterns simple! The original Friendship Bracelet Maker® is a sturdy, plastic, rectangle-shaped loom of sorts with prongs that hold multiple threads in place while you make the bracelets. The prongs keep the threads separated at the bottom for easy braiding, and the finished portion of the bracelet is held in place at the top by a decorative clip. A storage tray drawer keeps your materials organized. 20 precut threads in 10 different colors and instructions are included. A QR code has video instructions in various languages. New versions (11.5” x5.5” at widest) have a slightly different shape but operate on the same principle: a starting point with a clip and prongs to hold the strands. The looms do not come with any beads.

  • Watermelon is a hot-pink loom with apple-green clip and pink/black prongs.
  • Blueberry is deep medium-blue loom with aqua clip and gray/blue prongs.
  • Cotton Candy is a light aqua loom with an orchid-pink clip and orchid/aqua prongs.
  • Taffy is a pale yellow loom with a turquoise clip (heart accent) and yellow/turquoise prongs.
  • Pineapple is a bright yellow loom with apple-green clip and purple accents below and on prongs.

 My Friendship Bracelet Maker® Expansion Packs are also available in two sizes, each with floss and beads in a fun theme like neon, magical, bold, bright, brilliant, sweet, etc. The Ultimate Expansion Pack includes 30 colors of 120 pre-cut (72") cotton threads and 225 beads.
