Good ideas that are simple enough for teaching to the girls

Friendship bands is a very fun book. It teaches us how to braid, weave and knot friendship bracelet, which is something every teenage girl should know how to do. Whether it’s the basics of friendship bracelet making or a complex 8-strand bracelet, this book has it all.
I’ve been trying to perfect the friendship making skill for the last 6 years and I finally can make a basic bracelet with the help of the book. The book if filled with colorful images of cartoonized instructions which I found very helpful because I am a visual learner. To accompany the images, the author added a short easy to understand paragraph for those non-visual learners. I recommend this book to all teenage girls!

This book has very cool, interesting knots, braids, and weaves. It is good for travel, as long as you bring scissors, like I didn't. It was a long car ride. I would definitely recommend this book to someone.
