How to make your very own friendship bracelets
Friendship bracelets are great fun to make, and even better to make with and for your best friend! There are lots of colours and patters you can use to create a unique and special bracelet for y our friend.
Method 1: The easiest way to make a friendship bracelet is by plaiting.
1. Choose 3 colours of thread that you like.
2. Take 2 strands of each colour.
3. Tie a knot in the end of the 6 strands and separate the different colours from each other.
4. Get your friend to hold the knotted end of the bracelet and start plaiting the 3 colours together.
5. Once the bracelet is long enough to go around your wrist, tie a knot in the other end.
6. Snip off any straggly ends and you’re done!
Method 2: This is more difficult but you’ll end up with a cool pattern.
1. Take 6 strands of thread – choose any colours you like.
2. Each strand represents a letter in the word FRIEND.
3. Tie a knot in the end of the 6 strands.
4. Arrange them in the order you like and ask your friend to hold the end.
5. Take the first string on the left F and wrap it over and around the next string R to make a knot. Pull up on F to tighten.
6. Make a second knot the same way with string F over and around string R. Pull up on F to tighten.
7. Drop string R and pick up string I. Make two knots with string F and around string I.
8. Repeat on strings E, N and the last string D making two knots on each with string F, now on the right. This makes a complete row.
9. Continue the next row by taking the first string on the left, now string R, and making two knots over and around the other strings.
10. With each row the string on the left is worked over the string on the right.
11. Once the bracelet is long enough, to go around your wrist, tie a knot in the other end.
12. Snip off any straggly ends and you’re done.

It all started with a Scarecrow.
Puffin is over seventy years old. Sounds ancient, doesn’t it? But Puffin has never been so lively. We’re always on the lookout for the next big idea, which is how it began all those years ago.
Penguin Books was a big idea from the mind of a man called Allen Lane, who in 1935 invented the quality paperback and changed the world. And from great Penguins, great Puffins grew, changing the face of children’s books forever.
The first four Puffin Picture Books were hatched in 1940 and the first Puffin story book featured a man with broomstick arms called Worzel Gummidge. In 1967 Kaye Webb, Puffin Editor, started the Puffin Club, promising to ‘make children into readers’. She kept that promise and over 200,000 children became devoted Puffineers through their quarterly instalments of Puffin Post.
Many years from now, we hope you’ll look back and remember Puffin with a smile. No matter what your age or what you’re into, there’s a Puffin for everyone. The possibilities are endless, but one thing is for sure: whether it’s a picture book or a paperback, a sticker book or a hardback, if it’s got that little Puffin on it – it’s bound to be good.
