Launching on National Friendship Day in August, Blingle Bands is a friendship bracelet-making set that was created to help kids celebrate their friendships in style.
The set for creating custom accessories is easy to use thanks to a simple "Dip, Dot, Bling" system that simplifies the activity of adding colorful gems to a bracelet. Perfect for crafting solo and making gifts, or collaborating with a pal, the sets include options like the Bestie Pack, the Starter Pod and the Deluxe Studio.
For kids who are eager to have in-person experiences, there will be an event to kick off National Friendship Day at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles, and it includes an interactive chalk exhibition, photo opportunities, hangout spaces and more. Of course, the brand will also be reaching kids on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and launching a friendship campaign.
