Hi! Welcome to my bio! I usually prefer alphas over normals, but it depends what kind of mood I’m in. Thank you to anyone who has posted a photo to one of my patterns, left a nice comment, or rated/loved one of my patterns. If you ever need any help with bracelets, don’t hesitate to ask me.

If you’re interested in getting a shoutout in my bio, I’m currently hosting a braceletbook talent show! You can find more information about the challenge here https://www.braceletbook.com/forum/9_challenges/19604_the-braceletbook-talent-show-no-auditions-not-a-series-challenge/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Answers to your frequently asked questions:

How long should I cut my strings? For an alpha, cut your base strings the length you want your bracelet to be, plus the length of the ties. I like to use alphas I’ve made in the past to measure how long to cut my base strings. For a normal pattern, Megan Morris has a video for how to calculate the perfect length of strings. Here is the video https://youtu.be/M_K2iKeoq-A If you don’t want to follow that though, half of a wingspans length usually works fine.

How do people make the bookmark tassel? Here’s a tutorial for the bookmark tassel by Nadiya’s Bracelets https://youtu.be/fn7LrytzBrQ

What do I do if I want to make a keychain or wall hanging with an odd number of strings? Nini Knots has a tutorial where she shows how to do it. She starts explaining the technique at around the 2 minute mark. Here is the video https://youtu.be/Frp6i6n_q0I

What do I do when there is a color switch on the edge? When you have to switch colors on the edge string in an alpha, you basically do a normal color switch on the edge without using the flat alpha technique.

How do I clean up the backs of my alphas? @LillyGrace posted a video with tips about cleaning up the backs of your alphas. https://youtu.be/09V-jbn6zug However, as long as your strings aren’t coming out of the side of your alpha or anything, it’ll most likely be okay to cut the strings directly off. You can also tie a little knot if you’re worried, but it’s important to remember that bracelets are made almost 100% out of knots, so it’s not essential to secure them. I’ve heard people say that they’ve never had any issues with just directly cutting off the excess strings. If you still don’t like the way the backs of your alphas look though, you can also sew or hot glue a piece of felt or fabric to the back of your alpha.

How do I submit a tutorial? I’ve never submitted a tutorial, but according to the FAQ “Adding tutorials to the site is possible, but the process is a little bit more difficult than adding all the other content. If you'd like to add one, you first have to prepare it in a word document or a pdf. It would be great if it follows the same structure that our current tutorials have. They're divided into steps, and each step can contain an image/video, title, and text. After all of this is done, and your tutorial is ready, just can send it to us via email. If you don't have our email address yet, please contact an admin to obtain it. Also please don't forget to mention your username, and how difficult you consider your tutorial to be. After receiving your tutorial, our moderators will take a look on it, and if everything's fine, it will be posted to the site.” I’m also pretty sure you can contact a mod for the email

*Always remember that you are loved, treat people with kindness because you never know what they’re going through, and do the right thing even if nobody else does.*
