Friendship Bracelets

In my post yesterday, MARIO'S MEMORIAL WEEKEND- "TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME", Mario is wearing my Hipanema Brazilian bracelet (last summer, Friendship Bracelets took a nostalgic return to fashion for grown-ups). He loves looking in my jewelry box and was so happy when I let him wear my bracelet, which had me thinking... I should get him his own Friendship Bracelet... maybe one with a little less bling on it :-). In my search for Friendship Bracelets for Boys, I also came across some cute options for girls. The Friendship Bracelet trend is not just the average summer-camp styles, but they have beads, tassels, studs, rhinestones, charms, or are trimmed with leather. I still think the DIY friendship bracelets are the best things ever, so I also found some fun tutorials that you and your little one can make together, or she/he can make with their friends at Summer Camp. A Friendship Bracelet is the perfect accessory for Summer, and with so many fun options there is a Friendship Bracelet for every little one and for grown-ups too-- beware your little one may want to wear yours, which is all the more reason to get them their own Friendship Bracelet this Summer!

This H&M Skull Bracelet is in waxed cotton cord with skull-shaped metal beads and has adjustable length. This is the Friendship Bracelet I am getting my son Mario. It is a great price and is a very cool Friendship Bracelet-- I know he will love it!
