Easy DIY Candy Stripe Friendship Bracelet Tutorial for Beginners

This is one of the easiest friendship bracelets that you can make. The pattern is often called "candy stripe" or diagonal stripe and it only requires learning one knot that you repeat over and over and over again. You need embroidery floss (the same kind that is used for cross-stitching), scissors and a way to secure one end of the bracelet so that it is easy to make knots (I used masking tape). You can use whatever colors you like and even make thicker stripes by using more than one strand of the same color next to each other. This tutorial will cover everything that you need to know to make your bracelet. In the video, I say 45" of each color of floss, but for me I had at least 6 inches of unused floss when I finished, so shorter strings may be fine.
