Hey! It's your favorite dad on the net, Gerard Way <3

Today, I'm gonna teach you how to make art like me. Like a pro. Pro tips from Gerard. Life skills you need.

Today we'll be making one of my favorite crafts: Friendship Bracelets! I have a lot of friends. I'm so popular. I've got some special friends too, like Frank. ;)

Pete Wentz is one of my brother Mikey's special friends. I don't really know what happened in 2005 and I honestly don't want to know. I guess it's just Mikey's business, so if he's happy, I'm happy. If he's not happy, I might have to kill somebody.

Whoa, whoa, where is this going?

My point is, why don't we celebrate being friends? We all have friends, and if you don't, well, you can just make a friendship bracelet for yourself. I hear that sometimes these bracelets can be even better than band bracelets. :O

The way I celebrate being a friend is not always legal, so you probably don't want to know about that. All I'm gonna say is that last time I went out celebrating I may or may not have lost Ray. So bottom line: friendship bracelets is probably as innocent as you can get.

The materials you will need for this craft are a pair of scissors (ones that aren't bloody), and some string or yarn.

Now in order to make the bracelet, you need to know your best friend's favorite colors. Mine are easy, black, black, and red.

When you make friendship bracelets, you need to tie the string into complicated knots, kinda of like what I like to do with intestines. But then again, we're trying to keep this legal, so avoid that last part.

If your bracelet looks like a mess of random string tied together, then you have succeeded in creating your friendship bracelet.

Now, you must find your friend. After you have located them, shove them to the ground (in a friendly matter), and shove the bracelet onto their wrist, assuming that they won't punch you. You may now go out and celebrate with them.

But remember, children do not do illegal things, so stay on the side of the street.
