The type of string that is the easiest to use for friendship bracelet making is embroidery floss. It’s thin and while it will fray a little, you just have to get it wet and you can work with it again. It comes in every color under the sun and you can even get tye-die or fading colors. You can buy it at either craft stores or you can just pick it up at Walmart.

To start any friendship bracelet you measure out your string. the easiest way to to it is have it from fingertip to fingertip. Then fold it in half and tie a loop in the middle. You will need to either tape the loop to something or use a safety pin. The knot you’ll be using for the first two bracelets is the forward knot. It looks like a 4 and it moves right . The third bracelet also uses a backward knot which looks like a backwards four and it moves to the left.

    While there is no official language in the United States, English is used throughout the country. This leads nearly every American down a path that requires them to learn and speak at least some English. However, the roots of America lie in immigrants coming to the country for a chance at a new start. Therefore, multiple languages, whether dominant or minor, should be viewed as an example of what makes America what it is. These languages should not be purged in favor of English, but preserved in order for future generations to garner an understanding of the various cultures and ideologies that go along with different languages.…

They would use materials such as bone, shell, or dried berries to craft these beads into necklaces or decorations for the fringes…
