![]() I love how relaxed my daughter is when making a bracelet. It is my hope for my daughters that they love this fun craft as much as I do and pass it along to their kids someday. The art of friendship bracelets is lost on many kids who never attend camp. A lot of kits contain instructions for stitches as well. BoondoggleMan and Laneyards will be my go-to sites for years to come! AC Moore and Walmart are my favorite places to find affordable gimp. ![]() There are a bunch of other stitches, too! We searched the internet and found two great sites that had tutorials and even videos for gimp bracelet making. Looks like a real zipper at the end, especially if you use metallic gimp! This one is super easy and uses 3 strands with two of them hanging straight, while the third is woven in and out of them. The Zipper Stitch: At my last count, we had about 20 zipper stitch bracelets. Although this is a little more advanced, we’re planning on trying this soon. The butterfly stitch can even be made into a ring. We made a zipper pull for her backpack in this stitch. The Butterfly Stitch: A little more complicated, but turns out beautiful. ![]() The Cobra Stitch: Super easy to do with just 2 strands of gimp. Here are a few of our favorite (and easy) bracelet knots: My daughter was in heaven making these for her friends, camp counselors, and her sisters. Night after night we spent on the computer searching for tutorials. ![]() Every day of camp, she came home with gimp to make friendship bracelets. She had such a blast playing games, swimming, and doing arts and crafts. My 7-year-old daughter attended our town’s Park Program for two weeks in July.
