so what I do when I want to add in a new color is that I take a strand of the string of the color I want to add in and tape it to my surface or next to the top of the bracelet then you take the string under all of your base colors and then over the string you were just using as your color you want to switch out if that makes any sense you can also watch a youtube video because there are visuals and that helped me a lot because sometimes I can be not so good at explaining things but once you get the hang of it you will think that it is easy and even maybe fun so I hope that that helped a little if not I suggest youtube or if anyone else on here reads this then they can do there version of explaining it. ok well that it.

@Top_Xoxo @sambri Split the threads into two groups of 10, with 1 thread in between the groups. Do a forward (or bf) knot onto the left group of 10, then a forward knot onto the middle string, then an fb knot onto the right group of string. Now take one string out of each group, so that you have a group of 9 strings on the left, 3 separate strings in the middle, and a group of 9 strings on the right. Do an fb knot onto the right group of 9, then a forward knot onto each of the 3 individual strings in the middle, then a bf knot onto the left group of 9. Keep going like that, bringing out one string from each group with every row you do. If you want to see a visual explanation, Masha Knots on YouTube has a tutorial on it called “triangle ends for alphas”

Two questions! 1. How do I keep my bracelets flat!? The sides curl to the center and the ends start to curl toward eachother too, like before I’m even done making the bracelet. 2. Is there a way to prevent bracelets from looking “fuzzy”? Like after wearing a bracelet once it already starts to look fuzzy. (Hopefully you know what I mean by fuzzy lol) Only some of the bracelets I’ve made do it right after the first time it’s worn, some of them it’s after wearing it for days/weeks, and some of them I haven’t noticed do it at all. Could it be the brand of string? If so can someone tell me what brand wont do that!? (Sorry that was like a bunch of questions) |

@stoverts03 maybe to get your bracelets flat you could after each row kinda flatten it out and not pull the knots as tight but still tight so that it doesn’t look like there are a bunch of gaps.

@sroberts03 I use DMC and Loops & Threads and my bracelets have never really been fuzzy, but I also don’t wear them so that might be part of it. I’ve never tried this, but I heard you can use a regular razor to sort of shave off some of the fuzz

Buttons!! I've just lucked out and won an ebay auction of like 100+ random buttons and I'm excited for them to arrive (something I never thought I'd say). What's the best way to use buttons to fasten your bracelets? On of the very first chevrons I did I missed a row of four of the middle knots and so got a button sized hole. Would that be suitable? I haven't cracked doing the loop start yet mainly because I tend to use two threads for each one that the pattern requires because I'm using up some cheaper thread that I got. Can you do the loop with 16 threads on an 8 thread pattern? Also, has anyone used wooden buttons? I've seen some plain wooden buttons on amazon for quite cheap and I was thinking about getting them and painting them for those days I don't have the perfect button to go with my colour picks. Sorry for all the questions. TIA x |

@thebookdev I don’t know anything about using buttons in bracelets, but to make a loop for a pattern with 8 strings, you should cut four strings that are all double the length that you’d normally want your strings to be

@behappy8 Anything chevron-based would be good for that. #47172, #47085, #47028, #47027, and #45668 are some examples, but you can search the keyword “chevron” to find one you really like

@aaahini Black, white and teal is one of my favorites. I also really like blues and purples combined with black or white
