I’m sure there are videos out there, but would anyone be willing to try and explain how to make normal teardrop loops with an odd number of strings? I know how to do them with alphas but for some reason just can’t figure out how to normals. I watched an alex’s innovation’s one where they split the embroidery thread 3 and 3 strands, but is there any other way? |

The only way I can think of doing this would be to make the teardrop loop as normal, then cut off a string. Probably not what you were looking for though, sorry. Another option you have is doing a one sided triangle end (looks something like a candy stripe if that makes sense), but that doesn’t start with a loop, if that’s what your looking for. Hope that helps, sorry if it’s not what you’re looking for 🙂

You just place the odd string together with the strings upwards from the loop with the end somewhere in the middle so that the teardrop loop securely covers it. It's better than cutting off a string because the cut off end might still be visible. Be very careful when you pull on that string when you start knotting the bracelet cause it might pop out of the loop under force.Another option would be to make the loop as if you were making a bracelet with an even number of strings but when you start knotting, you hide the extra string inside random knots. It might sound a little confusing, but the idea is to make certain first knots (whichever are closer) onto both strings, the correct one + the extra one. Then, when it's hidden within 2-3 knots, you can just put it behind the bracelet and safely cut it off from the backside when the bracelet is ready, that's why it doesn't have to be as long as the others. Those knots are not gonna be any different in size than the rest. |

@itarosky thank you SO MUCH!! I figured that the first way was how you would do it, but I’ve never actually *tried* that before, so thank you so much.
