Ready to be the most original Taylor Swift fan in the audience (or the living room)? Read on for our roundup of Eras Tour friendship bracelet inspo that strays from the norm.

1. Friendship Bracelet Denim Jacket

TikToker @kelseykaminari shows off her incredible creation: a simple denim jacket embellished with a row of friendship bracelets across the back. We love the movement and rainbow-themed bracelet arrangement on this one-of-a-kind garment—and it's especially effective when paired with the creator's ‌Speak Now‌-inspired purple dress!

2. Bejeweled Friendship Sunglasses

Here's another playful take on traditional beaded jewelry: friendship bracelet sunglasses! Crafty TikToker @erika_on_the_radio made beautifully bejeweled sunglasses to trade with fellow fans at the Eras Tour. She used alphabet beads to spell out album and song titles and then embellished each pair with colorful jewels and designs. We'll take one pair of ‌Lover‌ glasses, please!

3. Beaded Eras Tour Purse Strap

If you know anything about the Eras Tour, you know all too well that bag limitations are strict—but that doesn't mean you can't dress up your transparent purse or crossbody! Take a cue from the ultra-creative @holyguacamollyb on TikTok, who used a colorful combination of simple plastic beads and letter beads to embellish her purse strap with album titles. Gorgeous!

5. Friendship Bracelet Tassel Dress

Talk about dedication! This friendship bracelet tassel dress from TikTok DIYer @laurajpetty is projected to weigh a whopping 13 (yes, 13!) pounds when it's complete. Laura combines traditional tassels with super-glued friendship bracelets to make the most flowy and inspiring dress we've seen in a while. If that weren't enough, she shows off an accompanying friendship bracelet hoop necklace that will hold bracelets to trade throughout the concert.

6. Clay Taylor Swift Charms

Want to stick with jewelry but not as keen on traditional beaded friendship bracelets? Check out this incredible charm bracelet from TikToker @indigoclayjewelry, who creates individual clay charms using skills learned as a clay earring maker. We love the attention to detail in each individual charm, from the cowboy boot to the butterfly!

7. Giant Friendship Bracelet Sash

OK, TikToker @soficas19 is something of an Eras Tour outfit mastermind. It doesn't get much more creative than her homemade oversized sash made to resemble a giant friendship bracelet. It looks like her sash was created using simple plastic crafting materials, like foam, paper and even a few toy balls to resemble large beads.

8. Dad-Made Friendship Necklaces

We're a little bit obsessed with this collection of Swiftie friendship necklaces highlighted by @sophiesparkles_ on TikTok—not only because we love the inclusion of beloved song lyrics and cohesive colors but because they were made by the TikToker's dad! Swiftie dads are a special sort, and these necklaces are proof.
