friendship bracelets are a little different from what I have made. Friendship bracelets are usually made with thread, and there is little detail. The braided bracelets I create take a LOT of effort, and they are complex. They are made with hemp, cotton cord, satin cord, etc, not thread. Some also have metal clasps, where the friendship bracelets do not, they get tied around the wrist. But thank you for your input.
