Embroidery thread can be made for bracelet like image above. The youngers like to use this kind of bracelet in their wrist. It is cool and trendy. How to make bracelet is vary in process. The following is the simple example you can learn for first time.How to make bracelet:

Buy embroidery thread, sometimes called embroidery floss, at a craft or sewing store. Embroidery floss is thicker than normal sewing thread, and comes in many colors. You must have more than one color to create a striped effect. The more even colors you choose, the wider the bracelet will be.

Take the first color thread and wrap it around your wrist 2 times,or from your elbow to your finger tips(More accurate!). The length you now have is the correct length. (If you want two stripes of the same colour, you need to cut two pieces!)

Cut a piece this length from each of the other colors.

Tie a knot at the top.

Take the far left string and make a forward knot.
Pull the first string through the “opening” in the four and then pull it up and tighten to make a knot. Repeat this step again on the same string.

Pull the first string over to the right and repeat the steps above, but using the next string in each case.

Work this way for all the strings to complete the first row of all the same color horizontally.

Repeat all the steps until you have the row finished.

Keep going until the bracelet is long enough to fit around your wrist comfortably. To make sure it fits well, try it on your wrist, there should be enough extra room that you can fit about 2 fingers in next to your wrist, since the bracelet can shrink in water and become too tight (although it will stretch back out when dry).

Tie the loose ends of your strings with a square knot, just like how you started the bracelet.

Tie the bracelet onto your wrist (or your friend’s) at the right length with a knot, like the first part of tying a shoelace, but do it twice – this is a square knot. It helps if you can get someone to help you here, but it can be done alone.

Trim any loose ends. You can also add charms or beads to the ends for decoration, simply slip them on the floss and tie a knot beneath them.
