Sealed with a Friendship Bracelet

While our girls may be too young to indulge in summer romances (they need to be 18, right?) there is still something magical about the friendships that form over the school break.

The friendship bracelet is a beautiful way to seal those friendships with a memorable keepsake. We love these rhinestone bracelets made by BC brand Brooklyn Designs ($39) and they won’t take up much room in their bags when they pack for summer camp.

Or if they aren’t going away, and you need to keep them busy, try these DIY instructions to make your own friendship bracelets. All you need is some embroidery thread, tape, and two months of sunny freedom. —Alexandra Suhner Isenberg
