How to make the craft
To make this craft, you just have to know how to make braids and teach the children to do it. The bracelet is a triple braid, that is, it will be three braids that you will later unify into one to make the bracelet and finish it. It is important that you have enough rope to spare, Measure the child's wrist and leave 5 to 8 centimeters more on each side.
Pick three strings of one color and braid. Then choose another color and with three strings make another braid. Finally, choose another color and make one last braid. Once you have the three braids, you will have to do the last braid of all with those three previously made rope braids.
It is important that to make each of the braids, you have enough rope. This way you can leave enough rope to spare to tie the knot and close the rope on both sides. Once you have the three braids and make the last one to complete the bracelet, to tie it, you will only have to make a knot with that excess rope and cut the remaining one. Now you can enjoy the colored braid bracelet!
