My Friendship Bracelet Maker: {review & giveaway}


This product brings me back to my earlier business days.  I was a middle schooler making bracelets with yards of colored thread, tape, and a clipboard.  I remember it taking me days to complete one bracelet.  The knots would be uneven and I'd lose track of strings.

The My Friendship Bracelet Maker takes the guessing out of bracelet making.  It is a convenient clipboard with string guides; no more losing track of your thread.  I loved that the clip held the threads securely.  I could start a project, walk away, and pick it up days later without missing a step.  Each kit comes with a convenient clipboard with thread guides and precut threads.  I was able to start my project right out of the box.

There's a lot of versatility too.  My next projects are going to be natural cords and leather.  Cut the threads longer and you can easily, without frustration, create necklaces and anklets.  Slide the adjustable clip all the way down to create adorable toe rings; perfect for sandal weather.  

Checkout the MY FBM website for lots of fun ideas and tutorials.  You have classic designs like the one above, but my favorite are the fancy holiday themed.  Pumpkins for Halloween and stockings for Christmas.  They even make a Ribbon Barrette Maker!

My favorite part about this review is I get to celebrate crafting with you and giveaway one Classic FBM to one of my readers.  In honor of Thanksgiving I'll be drawing one person sometime between the turkey and the Turkey Trot.


I was provided a Clipboard FBM for my review and giveaway.  All opinions are my own.

    This product is interesting because I totally remember what a pain it was to make the bracelets the old school way!! I made tons of them as a kid. I would give this to my daughter, who loves this stuff but wouldn't have the patience to do it without a tool like this!

    My twin girls would love this! They are always making some kind of craft for their school friends! I remember making friendship bracelets by hand during boring classes at school!

    When my brother and I were younger we spent a summer making friendship bracelets. We sent all of them to the Children's International fund we always saw commercials for on TV. We received a message back stating they could not accept them but that they sent them to a Church where there children loved them. This bracelet maker could go to my kids and I know they would love it and I could then share our story.

    I teach elementary special needs kids. This product interest me as a way for my students to learn, follow directions, create, and have fun.

    I guess I didn't make FB the old way, cause the way I use it now is the only way I know.
