Summary: This tutorial aims to, firstly, tutor green hands an easy way to make 3 string bracelet; secondly, to show the commonly seen method regarding how to make a clasp.

Materials and tools for making 3-strand friendship bracelet:

Instructions for making 3 string friendship bracelet:
Step 1: Make a clasp for a bracelet (the loop part)
1st, snip 2m red and yellow strings;
2nd, make 3cm snake knots at the center; the loop part is done.
Step 2: Braid the body of 3 string bracelet
1st, snip 2 pieces of 4m red strings; make double-string overhand knot at one end of snake knots;
2nd, start the 4-strand-braiding; symmetrically handle the other end of snake knots; control the length of string bracelets;
3rd, loop up snake knots, collect 4 strands (2 in red, 2 in yellow), and do 4-strand-braiding again (Notice: pick up 2 strands to make overhand knot to secure the loop before 4-strand-braiding).
Step 3: Do a closure part for a 3-strand friendship bracelet
1st, use simple overhand knots to cease braiding; allot center 4 strands into 2 groups, and each group goes into each side to form new group;
2nd, at each side do triple strand braiding, changing 6 strands into 1 strand;
3rd, use the braided strands to make simple square knot, trim off excess strings and melt ends with lighter.
