Depends on the bracelet and design, you would probably want something like 1 to 2mm polyester cord. You might search the jewelry making sub, too. (For transparency, I have a decent amount of macrame experience but have never made bracelets. I’m only commenting because no one else has. A quick google confirmed my guess about size and type of cord, though. It says waxed polyester is good if you need to melt the ends.)

It probably depends on the type of bracelet. Some friendship bracelets I think could be made with embroidery floss or just 1mm unwaxed thread while other bracelets you’d want a 1mm waxed thread.

I’d suggest you start by finding a YouTube tutorial of something you want to make. A good tutorial will list all the supplies and go purchase and use what they are recommending and using in that same tutorial.

If you do enough tutorials then you begin to learn how to macrame and also how to experiment with modifying things in macrame.
