FIRST WORKSHOP DATE!
Let’s break a Guinness World Record together, and celebrate the diversity that makes us strong!
Tickets are $16, with 25% ($4 per ticket) going to Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition. You will aim to make two bracelets. One goes into the Friendship Swap Box, where you pick out another one to take home with you, or you can swap with another participant to make a new friend! The other goes into the community art project, joining together into what I hope will quickly become the World’s Longest Friendship Bracelet!
The current record is held by Girls Friendly Society UK at 1362.42 meters and was completed in April 2026, right after I came up with the ideas for us to break this record. Before that, it was held by Valley Creek Elementary School (USA) in McKinney, Texas, USA. Their friendship bracelet measured 852.19 m (2,795 ft 9 in) and was completed on 28 April 2023.
So, if the GFS record is is 53639~ inches…. that is around 4,470 12” long bracelets. So…..then let’s shoot for at least 60,000 inches or more, which is 5,000 bracelets! There is no timeline requirement, but I hope to achieve it over the course of 18 months (or sooner!). My goal at the end of this is to have it hung and displayed at the PDX airport, or at the Portland Art Museum!
If you are not local but wish to participate, fill out the web submission form and mail in your contribution! Yes, you may contribute more than one bracelet, as long as it was handmade by you. All contributions to the art piece will receive a registration certificate.
To ensure we avoid issues with weight/logistics/storage/display,
Bracelets must:
Use embroidery floss only. No seed beads, please!
Be limited to 12 braided strands and 1 inch or less maximum width.
Be approximately 6” of body design with 3” end strands for tying, for a total of 12” long.
