Misanga Friendship Bracelet Lesson Book

This joyful book is an invitation to explore color through misanga—traditional friendship bracelets made with embroidery thread. With clear, photo-based lessons and a wide range of patterns, it encourages playful experimentation while building confidence through repetition and rhythm.

Inside, you’ll find approximately 100 bracelet designs, ranging from simple diagonal stripes to hearts, motifs, and alphabet lettering. The projects are designed to be approachable: follow the step-by-step photographs, move your hands, and let the patterns emerge naturally. There are also quick, easy designs perfect for making something wearable in a single sitting.

What makes this book especially unique is its deep focus on color. It’s a visual reference that allows you to plan combinations thoughtfully—or choose colors intuitively based on mood, theme, or personal meaning.

Whether you want to make a bracelet with a name, spell out a favorite word, or simply enjoy the meditative pleasure of knotting thread, this book offers both structure and freedom. It’s a wonderful way to play with color, make small handmade items, and create pieces you’ll actually want to wear or share.
