One trick I learned from akaawol's channel on youtube if your bracelet doesn't turn out straight...Get it wet. Then on the edge of the counter, or table, etc(something with an edge), and hold each end of the bracelet, and rub it up and down over the edge until it's straight. Then just lay it out to dry!
@NutEllah honestly, I have no clue how my alpha turned out that good. I think I was just extra careful when I was making it bc I didn’t want to waste time making a bracelet and just having it turn out bad
