Friendship Bracelets

 My area of expertise is making friendship bracelets. I think that as cheesy at it sounds, making friendship bracelets for someone is one of the best way to tell them you would put in as much as it takes to make it of time for that person. It not only shows that you care, but also, I can tell is a person put in a lot of work into making it and if it was made sloppy or not. Friendship bracelets can also tell if a person knows their friend's favorite color.  I think  that if I want to give someone something for their birthday, one of the things i would give them is a bunch of homemade brownies and a friendship bracelet, and that's what I would want for my own birthday too (not trying to hint anything).
When a friend makes me a bracelet, or a card, or food, or anything that they make, I think that it is worth so much more than the stuffed pet that they got at Walgreen's on their way to school, just because they saw that it was my birthday on  Facebook or something. 
I started making bracelets when I was very little. When I was in elementary, my friend and I sat down in the after school program at J.J. Finley and while she taught me English, she also taught me how to make bracelets, and I think that it was one of the most important stages of my life, because that's when I understood the meaning of friendship. Friendship in early elementary school was just about knowing who would play with you during recess,and you believed that every kid you knew was your "friend". But as time went on, I realized who really cared about me in school and that's when this amazing girl showed me what friendship really was, and that's probably why I relate Friendship with Friendship Bracelets and why they really deserve to be called that. 
Call me cheesy, but cheesy is what i am.

  1. You got the pretty good point. I prefer something from someone's heart, not from one's pocket money for my birthday gift. I know how important 'true friend' is, since I moved around lots of places and this short but solid post really comes to my mind.

  3. I also make friendship bracelets. I find that I bond more with friends at camp if we're doing an activity like this. I love teaching little campers this skill and passing on the tradition.

  4. Yeah I'm not one for making bracelets of any kind, but i know that, for some people, they can mean the world. I think it is good that a single bracelet can stand for such a unique and strong bond between friends.

  5. I think this post especially hits home for me because you've been one of my best friends since last year and you made me a bracelet. I've made a couple bracelets myself, but none as elaborate as the ones you make. This blog was very well written and I enjoyed reading it!
