Pick up a kit from the library, then get creative with supplies and make a friendship bracelet.

Friendship bracelets we wear today originated with indigenous people in Central and South America, but decorative knots can also be traced back to China and Arabic countries.

According to tradition, you tie a bracelet onto the wrist of a friend as a symbol of friendship and they wish for something while you tie it on. The bracelet should be worn until it is totally worn out and falls off by itself. The moment at which the band falls off on its own, the wish is supposed to come true.

TAG member Thalia shows you how to make a 5 color candy stripe bracelet with the supplies in your kit!
