DIY Stackable Square Knot/Cobra Stitch Bracelets

I love friendship bracelets for cute little stocking stuffers or easy gifts for friends! They’re so cute and fun to make.

Above, I picked one of the easiest friendship bracelet tutorials I could find — they can get a bit complicated at times. The square knot, however, is pretty simple once you figure it out.

This is an especially good present because friendship bracelets are so on-trend right now.

2. DIY: Morse Code Necklace

I made this necklace one year as a present for my mom and my best friend. I had an inside joke for my friend’s necklace and “I love you” for my mom’s. They both really liked it, though I did have to explain what it said since neither was well versed in morse code.

You’ll need an idea of morse code before you get started, and the image below is your guide. You can download the image here if you want to print it out.

3. Buy: Friendship necklace

There are a lot of friendship necklace options out there. I really like this one, though, because it’s subtle and goes with everything.

Most of the necklaces through DianPearl on Amazon are understated but really cute. I highly recommend looking through their selection if you’re in the market for one of these.
