senhor do bonfim bracelet making your wishes come true with each order.

how do you make a wish?

do you gaze at the night sky in hopes of a shooting star? or wait for the clock to strike at exactly 11:11? for brazilians, we wear senhor do bonfim bracelets (bahia bands) to make our wishes come true and keep evil eye away

how to wear it

Step 1 Have a friend place your bracelet on your wrist or ankle.

Step 2 Wrap it and tie it with a knot–as the knot is made, make one wish!

Step 3 Do this three times, so you have three wishes and three knots.

Step 4 Wear it until the bracelet falls off naturally. When that happens, the three wishes will come true! ;)

Step 5 Don’t cut it off (it’s bad luck)!
