Friendship Beaded Bracelet Making Party!

Saturday, September 21, 1-3pm

Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church / Heartland Hall

Are you ready for it?

Join us for an intergenerational friendship beaded bracelet making party!

Open to all friends and family of GCPC members!

In the spirit of our "40th Anniversary ERA," GCPC's Weekend Crafters Group is celebrating friendship by hosting this fun event.  This party will have a “Taylor Swift Vibe,” so break out your best outfit that will make the “whole place shimmer.”  The whole friendship beaded bracelet craze started from Taylor Swift’s lyric, “So make the friendship bracelets. Take the moment and taste it. You’ve got no reason to be afraid” from Taylor’s song, “You’re On Your Own Kid” on the Midnights album. Since her ERAS TOUR kicked off in March 2023, fans have been seen trading bracelets ever since.

  • To keep this as a free event, no supplies will be provided for you.  Please bring your own.  See suggested supplies list below.  Having your own supplies will ensure you can continue to make bracelets to share with family and friends.
  • Please bring a dozen cookies (of any kind) to share.
  • Bring your own drink (with a lid).
  • If you wish, please dress in your favorite Swiftie ERA, or in lavender, pink, or anything with sparkles!  Chiefs shirts and Travis Kelce jerseys welcomed!  Dress to be comfortable.

You don’t have to have experience making these colorful beaded bracelets, or be a Swiftie to attend. Not interested in making bracelets, come anyway!  Bring your own craft if you wish!

Supplies - You need to bring your own supplies

  • BEADS!  Pony beads, alphabet beads, any bead shapes, etc. Purchase at Michaels, Amazon, Dollar Tree (selection varies by store), Walmart, etc.  Amazon has some bead kits with pony beads, alphabet beads and cord.  Pony beads are best for kiddos with small fingers (easy to thread).
  • Elastic cording (Clear Stretch Magic brand 7mm or similar)
  • Scissors 
  • Ruler or tape measure
  • Washi tape (1 roll washi, or masking tape)
  • Bowls for beads (Ziplocs helpful)
  • Fabric place mat (keeps beads from rolling and a great surface to layout your bead pattern)
  • Bead board (optional)
  • G-S Hypo Cement, a strong craft and jewelry glue (or super glue if you can’t find it)

The event flyer has the supply list on it.
