Have you noticed friendship bracelets are popular again? And rightfully so. They’re colourful and relatively simple to make – and most of all, fun to exchange!

Why not surprise your BFF on Valentine’s Day with a home-made friendship bracelet kit?

Pack a pretty selection of embroidery floss in a small container, (we found these heart-shaped cases at Daiso) and include instructions on how to tie basic knots. Add a ready-made bracelet to the outside and your token of friendship will be ready to bestow.

Project materials: Heart-shaped accessory cases, Daiso Japan; Heart twist ties, Layer Cake Shop; Embroidery floss, DMC; Heart stickers, kikki-K.
