This yarn review and Friendship Bracelet Tutorial is a collaboration with American Yarns. This post contains affiliate links.<\/p><\/div>\n

American Yarns sent me one of their newest products to review – Crayola Yarn Box<\/a> which contains 6 colours of mini yarn balls in a nostalgic Crayola branded box.<\/p>\n

As soon as I saw bright rainbow colour selection, I knew it would be perfect for kids yarn crafts.<\/p>\n

Each box comes neatly packed with 6 x 20g balls of yarn which conveniently center pulls to avoid tangling.<\/p>\n

The yarn is 100% acrylic and are about a 5-8ply weight.<\/p>\n

Because it’s a small amount of yarn overall, I probably wouldn’t recommend it for crochet or knitting projects, as it won’t go far.<\/p>\n

But if you are after small amounts of several colours for yarn craft projects like, making pom poms<\/a>, small weaving projects<\/a>, or decorative yarn tassels<\/a>, this box set is idea!<\/p>\n

I was inspired by the bold rainbow hues to try my hand at making some Rainbow Stripe Friendship Bracelets<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Emma had never made friendship bracelets, so I thought it was high time we had some quality crafting time together.<\/p>\n

Using yarn instead of embroidery thread made knotting easier for a beginner.<\/p>\n

She is very keen to make lots of these over the school holidays to give to her friends once school goes back!<\/p>\n

How to make Friendship Bracelets 3 Ways<\/h2>\n

\"friendship<\/p>\n

Once you know the basic knotting technique required to make friendship bracelets, you can create an endless amount of unique friendship bracelet patterns and designs.<\/p>\n

This easy yarn craft is super portable and requires minimal supplies.<\/p>\n

Most yarn or embroidery thread works fine for making friendship bracelets, but if you are just starting out, a thicker thread (like doubled over yarn) makes it easy to master this craft technique.<\/p>\n

A clipboard<\/a> is handy not only to secure the end of your yarn while you work, but also to use as a flat working surface.<\/p>\n

Alternatively you can go ‘old school’ and use a safety pin to fasten the end of the bracelet into your jeans or a pillow.<\/p>\n

I’ve included detailed instructions for making two fairly easy friendship bracelet designs, and have linked to a video explaining how to make a super fancy rainbow arc pattern, if you want to challenge yourself.<\/p>\n

I guarantee, once you get making, you’ll be hooked!<\/p>\n
