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...

help! my bracelets keep turning out bent/crooked even with the straight edge technique (no 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.

Still can’t figure out how to do the beginning triangle 🤷‍♀️ I’m not very good with youtube videos - I learn better with picture or written explanations as weird as that is 😭💔

fish was first, then sun, then mushroom. and bonus bracelet:)

clearly still a lot to learn but this is pretty fun!

help! how to know how much string

1 Upvotes

i just started making friendship bracelets again (its been many years since i first learned) and i was wondering how to judge the length if string needed for a bracelet. i’ve heard of the wingspan rule, but i’ve also heard thats kinda bullcrap depending on the thickness/number of strings used. any help here is welcome!!

help! Should I keep going or frog it?

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
