@Tikilishi Yeah maybe, bee wax doesn't dry as fast and doesn't usually harden as much as nail polish so it might collect more dust when it is soft, also it might not flow through your bracelet as well because it is quite sticky... I know what beeswax is like and how it dries but never experimented with it on the string before lol! ❤️

I think that will work and I usually burn the edges with a lighter and they don’t really unravel after doing that 😅

i’ve thought about doing this because i have leftover candle wax, but i’d be concerned that it would stay sticky or rub off

im not sure as i’ve never tried it but burning the edges definitely does work!

That's so interesting about burning the edges!
@jenni745 @sage-wolf

Because for me, the string starts unraveling on the opposite ends of the string, closest to the knots of the bracelet already tied. So burning the edges probably wouldn't work for my issue lol.

(Also if you're super young I definitely don't recommend using fire, a little knot on the end should do the trick, for anyone who's little and who's reading!)

I have always used clear top coat for my bracelets. I use DMC and glue didn’t seem to work. I will have to try beeswax!! Since I have the stuff to try it…. I’ll let you know how it turns out!!
