friendship bracelets
Knotted string gifts
Friendship bracelets are simple handmade bracelets, typically woven from embroidery thread or string, exchanged between friends as tokens of affection.
The craft became a childhood staple in the 1970s and 80s, with various knotting patterns producing colorful bands.
The exchange ritual matters as much as the object: We made friendship bracelets at summer camp and swore to wear them forever.
