Frequently asked questions
What age are the bracelet kits suitable for?
The woven friendship bracelet kits are a lovely choice for children aged around 7+ with adult supervision. The making process is very simple, but the bracelets do take a little time to finish, so they work well as a calm craft activity or a project to enjoy over a few shorter sessions.
The knotted friendship bracelet kits are best suited to children aged around 10+ with adult supervision. The process is still simple once they get going, but the knotting takes a little more concentration, making it a good next step for slightly older children.
Are these bracelet kits good for beginners?
Yes, they are made for beginners. The woven bracelet kits use a simple wooden loom, while the traditional kit teaches a classic knotting method with step-by-step instructions.
What is the difference between woven and knotted friendship bracelets?
Woven bracelet kits use a small loom to help you make rounded, cord-style bracelets. Knotted friendship bracelets are made by tying threads in a repeated pattern to create a classic chevron design.
How many bracelets can you make?
The woven bracelet kits make 12+ bracelets, depending on the sizes you make. The traditional rainbow bracelet kit makes up to 8 adult-size bracelets.
Are they good for parties or sleepovers?
Yes, bracelet making is a lovely activity for sleepovers, birthday parties, school holidays and craft afternoons. It is colourful, creative and easy to set up at the table.
Do you need anything else?
Everything you need to make the bracelets is included in the kit. You may want a pair of scissors to trim the cord or thread when you have finished.
