While making it halfway, I had an idea. What if I used that technique and knotted it round a wire to make earrings? So I tried it out. It was pretty funky.
Get some strings, earring hooks, wire hoops and pliers. You can get them at Beadspin behind Tampines MRT station.
Instructions
1) Using the string, make a double knot at one end of the wire hoop.
2) Hold the hoop in your left hand with your thumb, extend your index finger.
3) With your right hand, take the end of the string and wind it around the back of your finger. DO NOT MAKE A COMPLETE CIRCLE.
4) Then bring it through the hoop from the back and through the loop round your index finger.
(steps 2-4)
5) Pull taut and repeat until you have gone round the whole hoop.
If my instructions are not clear enough, you might want to check this out. Just modify it a little, instead of wrapping round another string, it's the wire hoop.
Maybe you could give it to your friends as the alternative friendship band. :D

This reminds me of a "business" workshop conducted by some parents in my secondary school. We were to make friendship bands and sell them.
My group made a loss...because the bands we made were ugly hahaha. Business? Or art of band making? Up until now, I am still slightly indignant.
But knowing how to make them is kind of cool =)

Clarence: Oh dear, that sounds like torture even though I think making friendship bands are fun. I think your school wanted to kill two birds with one stone. heh. :D
It reminds me when i was in Sec sch days... I learnt to make these friendship bands from my sis. I started to learn how to make the design which u made for ear-rings...
Thats is the easiest! haha

hui hiang: really? I had trouble with it in pri school. I started out just braiding. Lol. But later, compared to the other designs, it is the easiest. You should try making for your sis :)
you are talented! I wished i could still make friendship bands! I used to make it in primary schools but most of them looks like a disaster!
I envy people who can make friendship bands beautifully!:)
karshing: Aww, thanks. I'm sure if you try again now, yours would turn out better. :) You wouldn't want to see what I made in primary school. We were too young then.
