In this article, you’ll learn how to make a friendship bracelet inspired by the series GhostForce. With the help of Disney Channel, you’ll become the stylist and create these GhostForce bracelets all by yourself. You’ll need embroidery thread, beads, tape, pliers, scissors, and a ruler. Remember to ask for permission and assistance from your parents, and make sure to protect the table where you’ll be working. To start, measure 120 cm of thread and divide it into six strands per color. Knot the strands together at about 10 cm and secure them with tape on the table. Then, separate the strands and tape them down to keep them taut, except for the first strand. Starting with the first blue strand, begin weaving from left to right, placing the blue thread over the pink thread, forming a 4 shape. Pass the blue thread under the pink thread and pull to create a knot. Repeat this process to make a second knot. Next, pass the blue thread onto the green thread and loop it through, making two knots as before. Continue this technique with the remaining threads, and you’ll have completed the weaving for the first row of the bracelet. Remove the tape from the next strand on the right side and secure it with the blue thread you just finished. Repeat the process with the pink thread on the green thread to create a 4 shape, pass it through the loop, and make two knots. Follow this pattern with the three colors, forming stripes throughout the bracelet, until you reach a length of about 17 cm. Then, tie a knot and trim the excess thread. Finally, attach the best friend forever charms by passing the ring through the weaving and closing it. Admire your beautiful three-colored bracelet! You can also create a two-colored version using three black threads and three colored threads. Proceed in the same manner as the multicolored bracelet to seal your friendship. Don’t forget to make as many bracelets as you want and give them to your BFFs.

Materials Needed
To make the friendship bracelets inspired by the GhostForce series, you will need the following materials:
- Embroidery thread in various colors
- Beads
- Adhesive
- Pliers
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Table cover
Make sure to ask for permission and assistance from your parents before starting the project. Also, remember to protect the table where you will be working.
Step 1: Measure the Thread
To begin, measure a strand of thread that is approximately 120 cm long. Repeat this measurement for each color of thread you will be using. Once you have measured the strands, tie a knot with all 6 strands together, leaving about 10 cm of thread at the end. Secure the strands to the table using adhesive, and separate the strands from each other. Place adhesive on top of the strands, except for the first one, to keep them taut.
Step 2: Secure the Threads
Starting with the first blue thread, begin weaving from left to right. Place the blue thread on top of the pink thread to form a “4” shape. Pass the blue thread under the pink thread and pull it through to create a knot. Repeat this process to make a second knot.
Now, take the blue thread and pass it through the loop of the green thread. Pull it tight and make two knots, just like before. Continue this process with all the remaining threads until you have completed the weaving for the first row.
Step 3: Begin Weaving
Remove the adhesive from the next thread and place it on the right side of the bracelet, next to the blue thread you just finished weaving. For the second row, place the pink thread on top of the green thread, forming a “4” shape. Pass the pink thread through the loop and pull to create a knot. Repeat this process to make a second knot. Continue this pattern, forming stripes with the three colors, for a length of approximately 17 cm.
Step 4: Continue Weaving
Once you have completed the desired length of the bracelet, tie a knot at the end to secure the weaving. Trim any excess thread to make it neat and even.
Step 5: Change Thread Colors
If you want to create a multicolored bracelet, repeat the same process with three black threads and three colored threads. Follow the same weaving pattern to create stripes with the different thread colors.
Step 6: Complete the Bracelet
Once you have finished weaving and tying knots at the end, it’s time to add some charms. Take your beads and thread them onto the bracelet using an open jump ring. Close the jump ring securely to ensure the charms stay in place. Admire your beautiful three-colored bracelet.
Step 7: Add Charms
To customize your friendship bracelets even further, you can add additional charms. Choose charms that represent something meaningful to you and your friends. It could be a heart charm, a star, or even a charm with your initials. Attach these charms to the bracelet using jump rings, and be sure to close them tightly.
Step 8: Make BFF Bracelets
You can make matching Best Friend Forever (BFF) bracelets by following the same steps above. Coordinate the colors and add charms that symbolize your friendship. These bracelets will serve as a special reminder of your bond with your best friend.
