A wise singer once said, ”Make the friendship bracelets; take the moment and taste it,” and since then, fans and lovers have taken that advice and RAN with it.
Well, it turns out that Disney fans and Taylor Swift fans have a lot in common! During a recent visit to EPCOT, we noticed some fun friendship bracelets, Disney’s Version, for sale in the Creations Shop. Of course, we immediately thought of the recently reignited friendship bracelet craze, so we had to share an update on what Disney fans have been doing lately.

We even made a few of our own! (Peep the “Plastic Cheese” bracelet)
It is SO fun to see people get excited when you offer them a bracelet — it feels like you’re making a little magic of your own! These simple bead bracelets are easy to make, too, and it’s a great way to get excited for an upcoming trip. If you’re interested in making some of your own, check out the products that we used below.
We used this Rainbow Craft Beads Kit to make our bracelets!
We bought this kit on Amazon, and it came with TONS of colorful beads. You can make a LOT of Disney-inspired bracelets with this set — the possibilities are endless!

We also used some Crystal Glass Beads to make our bracelets!
These crystal beads matched the rainbow beads quite nicely and added a little variety to our bracelets.

We used these Round White and Gold Alphabet Letter Beads to spell some words!
Every good friendship bracelet needs a fun message or name to go with it! We used these letters to spell out some classic Disney phases, like “Foolish Mortals” and “I Heart Mickey.”

They’re available in Black, too!
We bought both the gold and the black letters, so do whatever feels right! Bracelet-making is all about having FUN, after all!

This Elastic String was perfect for bracelets
We wanted a nice, stretchy string for our bracelets. That way, when we hand out our bracelets, there’s a better chance of our bracelet fitting everyone!

If you REALLY want to invest in the activity, try a Bead Board for Jewelry Making!
This is NOT essential by any means, but it does make the process of making friendship bracelets a little easier! We like how you can tailor-make (or should we say, “TAYLOR-make”) the bracelets to specific sizes.

You can even display your creations on a Mickey Heart Hands Statue!
Most Taylor Swift fans know the significance of the heart hands. They make a great bracelet holder, too, so of course, we had to include a Mickey Mouse version of the popular heart hand jewelry holder.

Well, there you have it! Taylor Swift started a FUN trend, and we’re happy to see it come to life in Disney World, too. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
