odd alphas

organicspr Advanced	5 years ago by organicspr ive been trying to make alphas but all of my to do's are odd number of base strings. i want to make a loop or some kinda of tie that isnt a bracelet. i also dont have D keychains, is there any ways to do so? please leave a bit of instructions. tyyyyyyyy ❤️
crafter83 Bracelet King	5 years ago by crafter83 Have your leading string me the other half of your odd thread, that will give you a even number. I saw a topic just yesterday on where to buy d rings, it shouldn’t be that hard to find
organicspr Advanced	5 years ago by organicspr @crafter83 thank u for the advice, do i just go about making a loop as usual then?
halokiwi Moderator	5 years ago by halokiwi Here's what I usually do: Let's say you have 9 base strings, you take 4 strings double the length and fold them in half so you have 8 base strings, you take the leading string and knot the loop using fb or bf knots, the shorter end of the leading string should have the same length as your base strings, the end of the leading string is your 9th base string If you don't do a loop there's nothing different from what you would do with an even amount
