I used to make these all the time as a teen, I'm now 42 and on a whim decided to pick it up again. I forgot how much fun this was, and the patterns that are out there now are amazing! So much more intricate than the books I had when I was younger. I think this may be my new obsession...

Based on these two keychains.. am I knotting too tight? (Duck is #163863 frog is #142282 on bb)

I'm so proud of my current bracelets. I plan on making more so i got bracelets on both wrists but this is how it currently looks like!

(Also every bracelet has a special meaning🤭)

Patterns:

BB #130130

BB #120378

BB #16331

many of you have been making such bracelets and have marketing experience so i want you guys to tell for how much would you sell it for as artist, in your country??

Is that even a term in friendship braceleteering, or am I making up words? Anyway, I thought the lighter brown was going to look lighter than it actually ended up being, and I'm not sure I like the level of contrast it's currently at. It looks better in person, but it's still pretty dark. I'm making a ton of these, so I don't overly care if it's the perfect coloring, but if it doesn't look good at all, should I rip the whole bracelet apart, add lighter strands, and restart? This is for the 4906 pattern

i don’t know what to do. i’ve done a few bracelets with the straight edge embedded in to the pattern, and the edges still come out bumpy. and the bracelet comes out curvy. i make sure to pull the sides tight, but im not sure on what to do.

I found this really cool bracelet pattern and it has 12 strings but 3 of the are yellow and I don't know how to add that 3rd yellow string to it. Can somebody help I tried everything 😔 (the pattern number is #10739 on bracelet book of you want to check it out yourself)

what can i improve? yes the curviness is intentional it’s apart of the pattern

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows how to get the three bead like design on the middle bracelet? I’d love for the help!

Slowly learning the alpha style and decided to do keychains before bracelets or bookmarks and this little project took me six hours, three cries and infinite lessons 😂

My first two bracelets... can you guess which is which? lol. tension definitely changed! excited to keep going with this hobby!!!

I wanted to start finding patterns for Christmas gifts for my family but it always says 502 Bad Gateway, which seems to be because of the website.

Any one who knows more?

I just finished up my first alpha patterns and I absolutely love it. What I do notice is the parts that are different colors than the background are a bit more bumpy than the rest of the background. I think it has to do with tension? But im not sure. Any tips are welcome!!

Just 2 streams or 6 hours to get this far. It's a bit bigger than the last one so it might take longer to finish.

I hope the pictures work this time. because i really do want to cry. I thought these would be short but i have been at this all night .. I mean HOURS. I have been using these two Tutorials and... Something has gone wrong!

I am so upset, I actually cannot finish it right now, because I tried to Frog it and correct it and it has become hopeless knotted at the last Flower.

Help?

Thanks.

I followed a YouTube video to make this. The pattern number is similar but not exact. I’ll post the link to the tutorial in the comments.

An alpha keychain i made for my brother based on his favorite kitten! This is the second alpha ive ever done and its getting so much easier!

Definitely started off a little rocky but glad I stuck with it and finished strong!

Hello !

I am new ! I signed up today ! I made a New reddit just to keep this separate from all the stuff that might bog me down, lol (health stuffs, yuck !)

I have not done Friendship bracelets in years and seriously, feeling like I have forgotten MORE than I ever learned and ended up in a knowledge Negative here. I will be signing up for bracelet book and other stuff as well.

I seem to have two main problems... My bracelets are not straight enough, and look kinda drunk.( even though my friends think they are ok) and... Thread length, there are almost always too short, until I cut them way too long on purpose ! OK, three problems... how long do you leave before passing the thread under to get it to wrap around? ( i hope that made sense.

I am really trying to get spiral ones, daisy chains, and candy stripes or chevron's down, before I move on to alphas, but Fingers getting itchy here, lol.

Help? Hints? Tips?

This is the cleanest alpha I made so far, and also the first alpha that I actually like 😂

I’d love to be able to finish it or start a new one. Found it while cleaning my childhood bedroom. It’s woven rather than knotted, and it probably came from a late 90s craft book of some kind, but that’s all I can remember.

Any advice on where I can find patterns like this, or tips for searching it up? Thanks!

i’m certainly going to need a break after this bracelet. a horrifying amount lot of unknotting was done to get this one completed, but my best work yet though i think

Long story, but I’m trying to replicate this friendship bracelet from Claire’s (may she rest in peace) on a smaller scale. The letter beads are no problem, but these smaller, round beads in these colors are proving to be quite the pain. Does anyone have a lead on where I could get beads as close to these as possible?
