The friendship bracelet is a decorative bracelet given by one person to another as a symbol of friendship. Friendship bracelets are often made by hand, usually from embroidery thread or yarn and are a type of macrame. There are different styles and patterns, but most are based on a simple half-hitch node.
The number of threads used in the bracelet varies depending on the pattern. The smallest pattern, double chain node, requires two straps while the candy line can have 3 or more strings depending on the desired thickness.
The first friendship bracelet became popular in the United States during the 1970s and is generally worn by teenage boys and girls and children. They are now popular all over the world and are not only popular among teenagers but among the older generation; they are popular among celebrities as well. Friendship bracelets can be used on various occasions; for example, they are ideal as a fashion accessory on the beach because it is made from materials that are not easily destroyed and with whom we can swim freely.

History
Ancient friendship bracelets, but their modern revival. The popularity of modern friendship bracelets began in the 1980s when they were seen during protests about the disappearance of the Mayan Indians and farmers in Guatemala. Friendship bracelets are brought to the United States by religious groups for use in political parades.
Friendship bracelets can have many meanings and symbolic usage, such as friendship, folk art, or social statement. Although it is generally accepted that the origins of these colorful bands lie with Indians in Central and South America, some decorative knots can be traced back to China from 481 to 221 BC. Traditionally, someone tied a bracelet to a friend's wrist that might want something at that moment. The bracelet should be worn until it is completely worn out and fall by itself, at which point that desire should come true.
