bpdachilles replied to your post: i just learned a new method of making friendship…
OHHH MY GOd i see diy videos all the time but i dont have the strings so the only time i did it was with yarn and it was So Big
i use embroidery thread (which is Great bc you can separate the threads to make finer work and is v versatile. also bc Embroidery is Amazing but i’m super biased). i used to make friendship bracelets w/ the “traditional” method (bc it was the method you usually find of friendship bracelet-specific websites and tutorials) but even though it’s p easy it uses So Much Thread like one time i did a 12-color striped bracelet and had to work with 1m~1.5m long threads, which can be p intimidating for a beginner!! i had to be very careful to not let the threads tangle and all
but this one tutorial i found today is p easy and so far (i’m still making a Test Bracelet) it doesn’t seem to use up so much thread. i’m using the method shown in these three videos and even though you have to pay attention to the thread color and order it isn’t complex at all.
but you could use yarn w/ the finger weaving technique on these vids to make a belt or smth like that! maybe even a scarf if you’ve practiced it enough. it seems v practical, i’m def going to test out these possibilities
