All you need is:

  •  string, yarn or embroidery thread
  •  scissors
  • something to keep your bracelet in place, whether it’s tape or a safety pin

There are a lot of friendship bracelet DIYs out there but we thought we’d share the ‘classics’ with you. We found three simple videos from Martha Stewart to show you and explain the steps in making these bracelets.

Beginner design – Staircase
