► How To Make A Friendship Bracelet Ring - Craft Tutorial 9

[elizabethsoto23]

I was doing this along with the video, once you said, "Don't cut the knot." BOOM! I cut the knot...

[BeyondBracelets]

@elizabethsoto23 lol... Well, luckily it's a tiny ring so it can be done again easily.

[nosel2lb]

[BeyondBracelets]

You do forward rows, then backward rows. If you want multiple colors I have a multicolor alpha tutorial just search "multicolor alphabet bracelet"

[LilxEmmty]

:D really pretty, you are so cute, I like your voice n.n, greetings from Chile

[BeyondBracelets]

@LilxEmmty Aw, thanks. =3

[dmschaefer1014]

Another good way to seal your knots is to put a dab of glue on the strings before you tie your knots.

[BeyondBracelets]

@dmschaefer1014 Yeah, I do that when I tie on new strings with my alphas. =3

[4everSingdance]

@coloradogirl200 but it says Colorado on ur screen name stupid

[BeyondBracelets]

@4everSingdance Be nice. I like to visit Narnia time to time as well. I'm thinking of buying a summer home there.

[coloradogirl200]

I live in Narnia we have no tacky Glue... Wat do i use??? 

[BeyondBracelets]

@coloradogirl200 Fabric glue would work or simply sewing the loose extra thread back through the back side of the bracelet to keep it secure.

[TheSamBracelet]

do you have to glue

it???

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheSamBracelet No- but it might come apart.

[G1napap]

I tried it and it looks really nice!! thank you very much for sharing! :-)

[BeyondBracelets]

@G1napap You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[starbeauty1]

you are a very skilled girl when i do it i always mess up lolz :D well just so you know im on my sisters account lolz i like making bracelets for my friends :D

[scorcher219396]

these are pretty awesome!

[itsbibibxtchxx]

Not Being Mean, But You Say Inches In Almost All Your Vids. & It's Supposed To Be Cm. Cuz Inches Are Huge For This Kind Of Stuff.

[BeyondBracelets]

@itsbibibxtchxx No. I say inches because I mean inches. I've made these bracelets for 15 years I think I know what I mean.

That said- I have a special video for you. Watch this:

There you go. Enjoy.

[OMGSquishyXPD]

do we have to use tacky glue, or can we use regular elmer's glue?

[BeyondBracelets]

@OMGSquishyXPD I use tacky glue because it seems to hold up well on fabric. Elmer's might work but I don't know how well.

[simplemajik]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can you please explain the backward, forward thing? o.O

[BeyondBracelets]

@simplemajik "the four type of knots" video explains it. Go to my channel and click "New to friendship bracelets? Start HERE!" and it will take you to the playlist containing all of the beginner videos.

[karahhhhx3]

Glad you're safe! I just wanted to know-I have a website with a couple of my friends making bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc. and I wanted to know how I would ask someone for the measurement of their finger. Ha ha kind of a weird question I just wanted to know. Thank you!

[BeyondBracelets]

@karahhhhx3 Ask them to wrap a string firmly around their finger and tell you the measurement in Centimeters. Since these rings stretch a bit I'd make it about 1-2cm shorter than the length they tell you.

[Pmink19]

What if you don't use a clip board? (by the way, I love you videos!!)

[BeyondBracelets]

@Pmink19 I usually don't use a clipboard. I only use it for videos. For making them on my own I use those office badge clips.

[bowi3boy]

does size matter??

[BeyondBracelets]

@bowi3boy Fingers come in all different sizes so yeah, it does. You need to make it tailor made to your finger. It should probably be about a centimeter or so smaller than your finger so the ring will stay on better.

[Softballroxx2011]

Omg luv the vid and luv all ur vids

This was an easy ring to make and it's really cute thanks for the tutorial

[Farwaali]

can you use like just regular PVA glue instead

[BeyondBracelets]

@Farwaali I've never used it so I don't know. Try it and find out I guess.

[bmj200]

You the only person I know on YouTube that responds in the comments so often!

[BeyondBracelets]

@bmj200 I try... even if it gets frustrating sometimes since quite a few people don't seem to read descriptions or search for things on their own before asking.

[Alm0nd396]

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right...but mine looks like crap...I can't see the colored dots in the middle.

[BeyondBracelets]

@Alm0nd396 I want to say you may be pulling too tightly. Try to loosen up the tension of your knots a little bit and if that doesn't work check out my ☼ Beginner Basics playlist... I have other videos on how to pull the strings and other issues you might have when making the knots.

[Alm0nd396]

@BeyondBracelets Thanks! I made one and it came out really nice (:

[BeyondBracelets]

@Alm0nd396 Awesome, was the tension the problem you were having?

[Alm0nd396]

@BeyondBracelets Yes. Once I loosened it up, you could see the colors. (: Thanks

[Alm0nd396]

Thanks! I'm going to try this!

[xDbritt]

Hi I want to make this as a bracelet, but have it a bit thicker. Do you think doubling up the strings would work? As in I do the fk's and bk's and whatnot with two strings in my hand instead of one, so in total I'd be using 8 strands.

[BeyondBracelets]

@xDbritt Yeah, you can double up the strings. Just make sure to keep them together (you may have to pull the strings separately when tightening if you notice one of the two strands didn't conform to the knot properly) otherwise you should be fine.

[redcapedghost1]

can u burn the ends?

[BeyondBracelets]

@redcapedghost1 This is not rope. This is 100% cotton thread. There is no plastic content.

[redcapedghost1]

@BeyondBracelets

oh thanks ;D

[BeyondBracelets]

@redcapedghost1 You're welcome. 

[bestfrannspagge]

lol i made myself a ring at 2 in the morning :P

[BeyondBracelets]

@bestfrannspagge Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this video was also made at 2 in the morning so don't feel weird for being a night owl. lol.

[XGerardxxWayXmCrLvR]

@bestfrannspagge i did too but it turned out really cool

[bestfrannspagge]

@XGerardxxWayXmCrLvR i did mine in rainbow order it came out frekkin awesome ;D

[XGerardxxWayXmCrLvR]

@bestfrannspagge awesome lol

[MyJanetfan]

Dots

[MyJanetfan]

How would you do this with more than 2 colors for the dats

[Raquel65able]

its easy to do

[rena2756]

so cute.......i loved it...

[egkforce]

is there a tutorial for a wider ring? i'm a fan for rings that pop.... yea.. thank you though. i really like the design. just made one..

[BeyondBracelets]

@egkforce Just make a larger pattern (making sure to keep it loose- meaning don't knot it at the beginning like a bracelet) and when it is long enough to become a ring just tie the first top string to the first bottom string, second to the second, third to the third and so on. It doesn't matter what pattern you use, the method will be the exact same.

[inuchan1992]

I used Krazy Glue. Seemed to work the same. Just have to be careful because it dries really fast and it's a really strong adhesive. Love your youtube channel, btw. =)

[BeyondBracelets]

@inuchan1992 I just know when crazy glue touches fabric it heats up for some crazy reason and can cause "burns" if you aren't careful- or at least it says that on the package. I also know it becomes scratchy when it's on fabrics... but if it worked for you that's good. It is a very strong hold, I just would question the comfort because of my experiences with it.

[FluffyBunny3451]

can u use elmer's glue if u dont hav tacky glue

[BeyondBracelets]

@FluffyBunny3451 I want to say tack glue is much stronger when dry but I could be wrong, you can try Elmer's I just don't know how good it would hold up long term since I've never tried using it on bracelets.

[eurabang413]

Does clear Elmer's glue work as well? c:

[BeyondBracelets]

@eurabang413 It might not hold up as good but yeah, I don't see why not.

[Oscar307975]

Pet the strings love the strings!

Aaanndd I just dropped it

You're funny :)

[BeyondBracelets]

@Oscar307975 People always tell me that I'm funny, I guess I need to start believing them. =P

[Oscar307975]

@BeyondBracelets You should!!

[lashyon]

Ive been making "indian rings' as I call them they're about sis or so strings but that's cute being so small like that :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@lashyon Yeah, I like the tiny dots around it, I might try to make a larger one just to see what it's like- diamonds would probably be adorable.

[TheMilklover3]

Hey! I have a video on this!

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheMilklover3 Really? Well, now we have a matching set. You made the bracelet- I made the ring. =P

[ninjaturtle0102]

I made the ring :D its so awsome thanks for showing us !

[BeyondBracelets]

@ninjaturtle0102 You're welcome!

It's a cute and quick little project and I thought you guys would really enjoy it! Glad to know I was right!

[bekah745]

pet the strings love the strings !

[BeyondBracelets]

@bekah745 Haha. =D

Blame the vicodin I've been on from the surgery! (No, this is not condoning drug use- I really do need the stuff at this point in time to manage pain... I do feel a little loopy due to taking it so excuse my randomness and/or stupid antics.)
