  • Select colors that have special significance to you and your friend - your friend's and your favorite colors, the colors of your eyes, or the colors of your birthstones make good choices.
  • Make specially colored holiday friendship bracelets - pink and red for Valentine's Day; black and orange for Halloween; or black, red and green for Kwanzaa.
  • Add beads to your friendship bracelet by threading them through the two middle strands.
  • Beads are a choking hazard for young children.
