How to make braided friendship bracelet out of string?
Step1: Prepare 6 strands of string
In the braided friendship bracelet, you totally need three colored strands of thread:
Magenta: 150cm long;
Lemon yellow: 150cm;
Black: 90cm.
1st, fold the two 150cm long threads from the center and tie an overhand knot at the position 4cm more or less nearby the folded place;
2nd, clip the overhand knot on a board firmly as the picture showed;
3rd, lay the black one over all four working ends.
Step2: Start to make the friendship bracelet out of string
1st, separate the four strands into two pairs. Then wrap the two on left side one time according to the picture show;
2nd, repeat the same processes with two on right side;
3rd, tighten the four working ends;
4th, cross the two tips of black holding end over four working ends;
5th, repeat the above same processes for the rest friendship bracelet portion: wrap and pull.
Step3: Make the closure for string friendship bracelet
When bracelet reaches the ideal length, close it by tying another two overhand knots. In the end, trim the excess thread and melt the ending part.

Finally you can take a look at its back side, so fabulous as well, isn't it? Now, don't forget to teach your friends on how to make this braided friendship bracelet out of 6 strings.

Just the knot I was searching for! How did you end it? What sort of clasp technique are you using or do you recommend?

Actually, in the fisrt step, when folding the strings in half, we'll get a loop and i'll alwasy consider it as part of my closure. So, in the end, just tie one or two overhand knots with the leftovers. And this contributs an natural ending for a string bracelet : )

This didn't work out for me at all!! I used wool do you think that would've made a big difference

I think it may make a little difference. If the wools you use are too thick, you may not reach the desired effect. You can try this with nylon thread next time. Hope it can help you. :)
