A Brief History of Friendship Bracelets 
Friendship bracelets originate from Central America, namely Guatemala, and made their way to the States only as recently as the 1970's. Friendship bracelets are a form of macrame since the woven patterns are created by knots. It is traditional to make and give a bracelet to a friend as a sign of long-lasting companionship. As the maker ties the bracelet onto the wrist of the recipient, the recipient can make a wish on the bracelet. When the bracelet falls off, it is said the recipient’s wish will come true!
