I’ve got something in my pocket
That belongs upon my face,
I keep it very close to me in a most convenient place.

I’m sure you couldn’t guess it if you guessed a long, long while,
So I’ll take it out and put it on,
It’s a great big Brownie Smile!

Friendship bracelets are one of the most classic crafts done at camps world-wide, and one of my favorites.  There are a few basic types of friendship bracelets, but this is the easiest.  It may not be challenging enough for older girls, but it’s perfect for younger girls making their first friendship bracelet.
