Notes:
- Before you begin making your friendship bracelet, you should know how to make a Right Hand Double Knot and Left Hand Double Knot. You can see these instructions at myfbm.com.
- These instructions teach you how to complete the pattern using My Friendship Bracelet Maker. However, the pattern can be completed without the loom as well.
Instructions:

Pick 2 different colors. The example uses pink (for the ribbon) & white. You will need one strand of pink and three strands of white.
-
Align string, fold in half, and tie knot ½ inch from fold forming a loop.

Attach your ½ inch loop to MYFBM under the butterfly clip.
-
Separate strings by placing one string per slot. Note: Use the same color in slots 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 & 9 (white) & slots 4 & 7 (pink). This will align the colors of your bracelet pattern.
