By designing bracelets, do you mean creating patterns?

If you want to design a pattern, it helps to have a clear idea in mind what you want to do.

If you don't have an idea yet, there are different things that could inspire you:
- looking at other patterns and bracelets
- knotting bracelets (I often get inspired by that because I think "what if I did it slightly differently?")
- playing around with the normal pattern generator and randomising knots can give you inspiration too

Here are some tutorials that might be useful for designing patterns:
