Friendship Bracelet Designer

This web page allows you to design your own patterns for friendship bracelets created with a "friendship wheel", such as the one available from Alex Toys. This appears to be very similar to a Japanese braiding technique called Kumihimo, so should also be useful if you are using a Kumihimo disk.

You need Java on your computer to use this - the latest version is Java 6. If you are seeing this, either you do not have Java, or Java is not working properly on your computer. Java Tester has useful information to help you check if you have a suitable Java and it is working properly.

Click the color you want, then click on the pattern or wheel to place it. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to change the number of threads in your design.

If the applet isn't working, take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page and see if you can find the reason there. If not, please Contact Us with more information so we can try and solve the problem.

The Flash applet below shows how to move the threads around the disk once you have them set up Just click on the triangle to start it running.
