How To: Create 1 in 3 Dating Abuse Bracelets
Due to unbelievable demand for over 100,000 1in3 awareness bracelets, DoSomething.org can't fulfill any more requests for bracelets. But don't let the lack of a bracelet stop you from taking action. See below for how you can create your own bracelets that represent that 1 in 3 teens will be involved in teen dating abuse.
- Scavenger hunt. Find colored rubber bands, hair bands, or anything like a round band. Make sure to check around your house, at the supermarket, at the drug store.
- Test them. See how the band feels on your wrist. You'll be wearing them a lot so this does matter
- Colors matter. Once you have found the right feel, track down 2 black bands and one blue band.
- Wear them! The point is to wear the statistic 1 in 3 to spread awareness. All you need are three bands with those colors to wear.
- Create more! Once you have found a winning combination figure out how to make more so you can share them with friends and create some serious awareness.

wow..i have seeing this alot with my friends and there realtionships and its not rite
it is time to stand against violence and abuse in realtionships
sarah_ignites321 Please help us stop dating abuse it is not a joke
i already did myself a bracelet... now i want to spread the word.. and make more bracelets..
i will do this @ my school i have never tried to step so far were i will be doing something so huge for so many so wish me luck people
what you could also do to make these braclets... use beads like you did as a kid... blue and black ones on a little rubber string... it lasts longer then rubber... or makes it out of string... its real simple to do
I like that bead idea, It would be a great way to get a lower school art class involved with the project.
When I was in high school I had a third grade class count pennies for an earthquake fundraiser...
My mom was beat when she was 24 by a fiance, the bad part is she was pregnant. Chris was the guy's name, and he almost killed my half brother. My brother is 23 today. I wear 3 on each hand for my mom.

you can go to michaels and buy beads and string to make these bracelets.

Can you please add more bracelet ideas for other causes??:) Thank-you!
we need to stand up to dating violence im going to by jelly braclets black and blue ones and give them out to everyone i know hopfully ill start the new trend at school
same here:)
I am aware that this is a very serious situation and will do all I can and help but I dont think they should be naming this video the Rihanna and Chris reenactment we were not there to know the full out truth. theres 3 side to every story his side, her side and the truth. they should have focused on making the video for the general over all problem.
they say u can get them online here
but i cant find out how to get them cuz they are free
if u kno how to get them pelase tell me
same here:)
I neeed help finding out how I can get the bracelets
I am sure many people know how serious of a problem this is and the fact that we are raising awareness is awesome.Hopefully more people join in and help raise awareness also.
I made finger knit bracelets for mine, because they're comfortable and fast to make. :) I added clasps to make them removeable so i dont have to ruin them in the shower. :)
My friends have these problems but they too blinded to recognize, wen time passes, they look back and say "w0w how did i not realize this?"
I just don't get why people do this. THey need some serious anger management therapy. SERIOUSLY! I just don't get it.
What I did was weave the braclets together and pass them out to my friends. I also went and talked to my principal (as student body president) and we are organizing a day of awareness for things like drug abuse and teen dating abuse, in which we pass out pins and bracelets and stuff. you could probably get some of the braclets in the picture ion the page at walmart, claire's, or a hot topic.
oh cool, i never thought of that, i made blue and black friendship braclets and passed those out too.
I have been a victim of dating abuse. THankfully, I got out right before he physically abused me. It was emotional; our relationship was controlled by my fear of him. I want people to realize, never give up on someone who is being abused. My parents, and the friends who saw the truth kept telling me that he wasn't right for me. I fought them, called them names, and put myself into further denial, but they still persisted. I am now dating the most wonderful guy ever, and I owe it all to those close to me. Without them, I'd probably be beaten right now, but not even realize it.
@ princess: that is exactly what happens. DOn't give up, though, show them this relationship is NOT love.
I cannot find the little rubber bracelets any where does anyone know where I can find any?
*Shelbsteroni*
im deffinatly doing this and im going to get others to start wearing them too
I definitely did this. I found my bracelets at walmart. They are cheap, and they work!!
I'm using hair ties
To anyone and everyone who said they can't find bracelets there everywhere mostly at like wal-mart and hot topic and even like bangle bracelets or braided ones would work maybe even silly bands but i dunno
tht seem really cool but my thing is my skool isnt one of those good skools but i might just try it and see how it works
i cant even stand to look at this my best friend was killed by her boyfriend and it just hurts so bad i miss her so much
I bought tons of bracelets blue and black. I put two black ones obvioudly and one blue one.. I tied them together in a bow and with them is information on their significants and the one in three awareness.. It's working really well and gets people involved fast and sufficient
You can get a pack off 144 bracelets on Amazon.com for $4.25
I am ordering bracelets right now to raise awareness at my college. :)
Hey, im in washington, and in kamiakin Jr. High there is a LOT of dating abuse. i am goin to try the bracelet idea and see if i can make a difference. if anyone has any ideas on how to really help out, it'd be awsome! oh, an if anyone knows of places that support this cause please tell!
