How to Make Taylor Swift Friendship Bracelets

Making friendship bracelets is easy and fun. Here’s how to do it.

1. Choose a song title, lyric, album, or Swiftie phrase.
2. Measure the elastic around your wrist, leaving extra room for tying. Be careful not to pull the elastic too tightly while measuring so the finished bracelet isn’t uncomfortable.
3. Arrange the beads before placing them on the cord.
4. Add the letter beads in the correct order.
5. Tie the elastic securely with several knots. A surgeon’s knot works best.
6. Add a small dab of jewelry glue to the knot.
7. Trim the extra cord after the glue dries.

Tips for Trading Friendship Bracelets

If you plan on trading friendship bracelets, start by making them in a variety of sizes so you have some to fit everyone. You can simply wear them on your wrist until it’s time to trade or carry them on a carabiner clip, a shower curtain ring, or a ribbon. When you see someone you want to trade with, all you have to do is ask if they want to trade or give them a bracelet.
