I wanna do #22543 after my big alpha project, is there a way I can do a tear droop loop for it?

Yes, if you have an odd number of a certain colour you can cut a string double the length of that colour and split it in half so that it's only half the thickness. Then you can fold the string in half and pull a string from the other side of the bracelet through that loop. That way the string is secured. I'm sorry that I explained this so badly but you cut maybe check out MashaKnots' video on making a loop with odd numbers of thread. |

@halokiwi Is there a way that I don't have to split the string?

I haven't tried it but you can potentially make the two green strings and the black strings a little longer and include the ends of them in the loop and just cut what you don't need once you made the loop. I think it's less secure but it might work 🙂

@Deuken hi there! i frequently use the second method that @halokiwi mentioned, and it works fine for me and stays pretty secure! i usually cut the odd string(s) about 6 inches longer than halfway so that they will stick out of the other side of the loop a couple inches, and just continue on making the loop as if they were even strings. then when it comes time to begin knotting, you just leave the short end of the string out in the back of your bracelet and cut it off later (you can secure it with glue etc. if you feel like you need to but I usually don't)
