Girls, Is there an easy way to do a French Braid?

I have long hair and like the look of a French Braid. My friend was able to do this for me, but I am challenged when it comes to braiding (especially French Braiding). I know that they make bun makers for buns, but what do you recommend for French Braiding. I want to wear my hair like his to a July 4 Picnic if possible.
