So I'm a bit confused on how to actually WEAR bracelets

When you start with the teardrop loop and end with the triangle ending or a braid, do you just tie it together?
and then you start with the triangle and end with it do you also do that?

If you have a loop and two ties: pull one tie through the loop and tie a knot between the two ties.
If you have a tie on each side: tie a knot between the two ties.

There are also closing options where you use buttons or clasps.

I also was wondering that. Because if you have a loop and two ties (or ties without a loop) the ties always will hang around. That must be really uncomfortable. So with some bracelets I am using buttons. But I don't have so many really nice ones that match the colours. And you have to measure the bracelet exactly, so you can't use it for your hands and feet (at least not with my size).

When I was young (haha it is sooo long ago 😂) we never thought about that! We tied our bracelets, the ties were hanging around, we wore our bracelets day and night (because opening that knot also is not that easy 🙈) and the world was OK.

And now I'm a grown up perfectionist that does not like ties hanging around. But "everyone" has that. Even the great tutorial makers on YouTube use ties instead of buttons and everything is fine.

If long ties bother you, try making them as short as possible, while still being able to tie them @emp217

You can also use sliding knots if you have braids on each end to make an adjustable bracelet. Here's a couple of youtube videos on it:
