I Would Love To See You Do A Huge Bracelet!!! At Least 40 Strings, I'm Working On One Right Now But With Your Magical Fingers, I Bet You Can Do Better ;)
So what if I don't want to fold my pink and blank string To form a loop do I just make it half of what that would be and the green be a little bit longer?
@Bracelets1001 Actually I did. I also made the newest gingerbread patterns I have posted... and the really huge Octopus underwater pattern. This was the easiest one I have done.
@Coolhhhghggshdhdsh Yeah, that could definitely happen with this pattern... If you know how to make basic triangles you can do that and be ghetto by putting dots of permanent marker where you want seeds (or) adding some black seed beads.
@WhatHappensNow13 The type I use is in the description... that said- mine fray, I'm just really used to dealing with them. I try not to grab the ends much... if you work from the center of the string you'll be less likely to start pulling it apart. Also, if you make a mistake and pick it apart you can loosen the twist of the floss.
@MsSkullface11 The knots can get messed up a few ways. If you make the wrong one the strings will be in the wrong position for the rest of the pattern, if you pull too tight the knot can 'flip' color like in my "Knot Flip" video.
@gingersnap416 Yeah... the seeds can be tricky. You could try doing a basic "Triangle" on each side with pink only... then add in some seed beads where you want to see the seeds. That would give a similar look without the hassle of placing the strings with a knotting grid.
@skull666crusher Hm... are you making the proper knots (two knots on each thread) and pulling them up tight enough? If you're doing it like that... then maybe try to loosen up. You could also be pulling way too tight.
Bracelets are made up of so many knots that if some of those knots are tight and others are loose it can also make it look uneven... so also try to work on your tension. Firm but fairly gently, as if you were knotting with your own hair.
Well, I write down the pattern in the description bar. Maybe try following that instead... who knows, it might make your life a bit easier reading it than watching it.

hi! thank you so much for the tutorial! It helped me a lot.
I was wondering if in your future videos if you could put a link to the time (ie 1:00 ) in the description bar that shows where eat step is in the video. I usually make my bracelet from the description and when I try to find where I am in the video it's kind of hard. :)
@SilverMistAurora It already takes me over three hours to make one video when it comes down to filming, editing, uploading and creating a description... doing timestampes probably would tack on another hour since I'd pretty much have to watch my own video trying to get them perfect. =/
@SilverMistAurora I didn't take it as a complaint... I take these sort of things as advice that could help others... but it's just such a time consuming process already that I can't really do everything perfectly. Unfortunately, even if it is a good idea, it just would take way too much time.
@lolabells1 Practice and time. As long as you know the knots you can pretty much make anything. I look at them like puzzles... fortunately I like puzzles.
@bracelets101234 You need to post about 30 videos or more that don't violate the 'rules' of youtube. No copyright infringement... I'm pretty sure I got my extension on video length prior to my 'partnership' with youtube... but I could be wrong.
@rominithazul I think you used a translator... your comment didn't make any sense. I think you asked what the string is called... it's Six Stranded Embroidery Floss.
Sorry if that isn't what you wanted to know... but I couldn't understand well.
@coolcallie88 Probably just need to work on your knots more... it can get confusing and switching just one string by accident can ruin everything since this has seeds in it.
@LemonandGrapefruit Chances are it was an alpha pattern, those take too long and so I won't do them. Find the pattern and send it in if it's not an alpha.
@BeyondBracelets I dont think it was i just looked up music notes and that one popped up ill do it again and check! But can you make any music note one??
For some reason I'm getting holes on the left-hand side of my bracelet. I am knotting correctly (pulling the string upward, not out to the side). Any insight as to what is causing this?
@fireandwater99 I actually pull mine to the side and up- sort of at an angle not out to the side completely.
The backward knots I pull upward towards the left and the forward knots I pull upward towards the right.
It sounds to me maybe even if you are pulling upward you might be pulling them a bit awkward... that or you're not making the forward/backward/mixed knots properly. If it's only the one side I'm guessing it might just be the way you're pulling. You could try wiggling the string up.
@nx555v I made this pattern up on my own... but the others that don't have "ORIGINAL PATTERN" in the title are ones I found online. There's a bunch of patterns on Friendship-Bracelets(dot)net and I've even uploaded some of my own original patterns there. (BeyondBracelets is also my username there.)
i was wondering if you could do a new pattern? i found one online i iked of a shamrock but it has written instructions i really like it but i'm more of a visual person not so much a read it and do it...if you could that would be great!
@luckxofxthexirish Send a link to my inbox... No promises, though. I can't decided if I'll be able to make it without seeing it. Chances are I will understand it fine but there's always that small chance I'll just be completely baffled by it.
@xLolliepopGalx Sound like you switched some strings around somewhere along the line.
I had issues making this pattern... and have told other people if you want to make it easy just make it all pink and add in black dots with some waterproof marker of some sort. Problem solved. =x
@princessam145 Practice makes perfect... You just need to keep the tension pretty uniform, Basically, make sure to pull the knots up (wiggle slightly upward GENTLY if you want, I told someone else to and it helped them a bit.) also, when you make a new row just make sure not to pull too hard so you don't distort previous knots- other than that it's all practice.
I've been doing this for 15 years so it's pretty much second nature and I just developed my own 'feel' for making these bracelets.
@waterbottleyea I'm not trying to sound rude but... you could search for some of these answers on your own. I just Googled "Judikins Diamond Glaze Toxic" and got this> "Not waterproof. Non-toxic. Non-irritating. Odorless. "
@waterbottleyea It's fine, it's just that lately I have so many messages that it's getting more difficult for me to search out the answers for everyone.
@waterbottleyea It's nothing to do with common sense, really. Basically, treat Google just like a person.
If you want to ask someone "What ingredients are in a kitkat?" just ask Google instead. Chances are it will answer you. Google is 'smart' like a person so if you ask it a question (any question) chances are you will find your answer right away. I always ask Google things. It's fun to see what you can find... you just need to try.
@karahhhhx3 The watermelon might be a little easier... but so many of the same color can get quite confusing. Make sure to use either a cardboard loom or a felted clipboard to keep your strings from flopping around everywhere. If you can keep them in order you could probably do it pretty easily. Also, don't forget to check the description for written instructions to use as a guide.
@beyondbracelets you told me a little while ago that since i was having trouble with the black seeds in this pattern i could just leave them out and add them later with marker or something. i was just wondering how exactly i would do that. i bet i sound like an idiot for not asking this earlier, but im still pretty new to friendship bracelets and need help. :)
Basically, pick the knot you want colored and carefully dab the color on to the entire "bubble" of the knot. I'd use either a permanent sharpie or a fabric marker. Don't worry about the back... just make the front look good.
I could make up a pattern for you if you would like. Are you able to follow through with the patterns of friendship-bracelets(dot)net or would you prefer I just inbox you explaining?
SUCH a great pattern!!! i cant wait t do this one after finish the rainbow arrowhead!! except what i do that is REALLY annyoing is leave holes from doing the knots uneven. sigh.
@waterbottleyea Try wiggling your knots upward slightly, don't pull the base string like you have a kung fu death grip on it while you wiggle upward though.
@waterbottleyea No problem. Good luck and if it keeps happening you could try doing a video of you making the bracelet- I can usually tell why knots are getting messed up if I see how people are pulling their strings.
@mangoCrazy31 If you read the description you'll see what it means.
There are rows for the pattern, row 1 is the first row. It is an odd row. There is row 2 which is the second row, that is an even row. Row three is next... three is an odd number/row.
Love you bracelets and videos, but I had a question. I just bought some string from walmart, and its really tiny. So, its hard for me to keep track of the knots and what not, especially since I'm a beginner. What string would you suggest for me.
haha i think this is the most confusing thing ive ever seen... i love your videos but im gonna hav to watch this one a few times before i understand it :)
@Ilovefred119 The seeds made this more difficult than it had to be- honestly, if you wanted to cheat you could just do basic triangles and then add seed beads where you wanted the dots... lol. That or be REALLY ghetto and just use some marker... or stitch them in after the fact.
@BeyondBracelets I like the marker idea... i bet i could find markers that wouldnt run in water... i'll keep working at it first though. i usually cut shorter strings than neccissary first for practice then cut the actual ones once ive got it. :)
@Ilovefred119 Fabric markers would be my best guess at something water safe. Also, it's good you use short strings to practice. I do that too and it's the best way to get a swatch of the pattern just to make sure you understand it and like the colors you picked for it. Good luck!
@sakuraflora3 You don't have to use dark green, you could use the same shade... I just used it to give it more depth and interest.
Look at the "Show more" below the video... right at the [CLICK HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONS] text... I always type out a video description and tell you everything you need to know there. String lengths, set up and even the pattern is typed out.
@27volleyballgirl Soon enough. Right now my internet router is dying and it's causing my internet to run so slow I can hardly open emails without refreshing 20 times... but Monday afternoon some time I should (hopefully) be able to get a new router for my internet... so once I get a new one I should be back to posting videos regularly.
@sparklefish12 I'll look into it... maybe I'll do my octopus pattern that I made up. It's really beachy and summery.... I think it would come out cute but since I just made the pattern and haven't actually tried it I'm not sure how it will look... but maybe I will try it out and see if it is worth posting.
@gottojump Haha, well practice makes perfect. If you are practicing try using half the required length of string (25-30 inches appx.) and fold it- that will let you practice TWICE while still using just one bracelets worth of string.
I always use minimal when practicing new patterns... it's much harder to work with long strings, so I make myself a "sample" before wasting lots of string. This also helps serve as a color swatch so you can determine if the colors you plan to use will work nicely.
I think I"ll try and make some of these for the "Kiddo's" Becuz you're right it is very summery! Depends how fast I can knock em out... Just cranked out 4 of the awareness ribbons tonight... took about 1.5 hours each :/
I'm soooo trying this when i get more strings:)!!! Can you do a penguin pattern please :o? I saw one on the frienship bracelet website i think the pattern number is 3887..I just can never understand the written instructions that go with it :/ I find it better when someone shows me how to do it :p
What happened to the pattern? I tried to click the link since it's easier for me to follow written patterns and it said that couldn't be found, and now it appears as pattern #41121 :S
@fandelesluthiers I asked one of the mods to delete the first one... I moved some of the seeds around and I wanted to re-do the pattern so they deleted it for me- unfortunately the user can't delete their own video so it took a while, I'll go check on it now.
And, -sorry for being so annoying- but I have another question. How do you estimate the lenght of the strings? Like when you're making a pattern from FB.net, because I tend to use too much, to make sure I won't run out, and then end up with a lot of left over string.
@fandelesluthiers There's no way for me to answer this... I don't know how tight or loose you make your knots.
The only way to know for sure is to measure how much you're using, make the bracelet, then measure how much you are cutting off as left over. (Double the number of how much you cut off since strings are usually folded) Subtract the amount you cut off from the starting amount and you'll see how much you need to shorten the strings then bracelets of similar size should use that amount.
You are beyond talented!! All your designs are amazing all I can do is the forward candy stripe I think it's proven more difficult for me because I'm left handed. Any advice?
@TheBronzeKitty Hm... I never really considered the "left handed" friendship bracelet makers so this is a really amazing question...
I'm right handed but I've actually been able to train my left hand to make my forward knots. If I think up anything more "useful" on this topic I'll try to post a video but all I can say now is try to train your right hand to do some backward knotting.
*Check my "beginner" playlist for tips and maybe try training your right hand with some backward candystripes!
Made it. Love it :)

It's fun to see what you can find... you just need to try.

do you suggest making the watermelon pattern before trying the penguin?
karahhhhx3 7 months ago
@karahhhhx3 The watermelon might be a little easier... but so many of the same color can get quite confusing. Make sure to use either a cardboard loom or a felted clipboard to keep your strings from flopping around everywhere. If you can keep them in order you could probably do it pretty easily. Also, don't forget to check the description for written instructions to use as a guide.

@BeyondBracelets ok thank you. i tried the watermelon and its turning out pretty good. your videos make bracelets so much easier!

@beyondbracelets you told me a little while ago that since i was having trouble with the black seeds in this pattern i could just leave them out and add them later with marker or something. i was just wondering how exactly i would do that. i bet i sound like an idiot for not asking this earlier, but im still pretty new to friendship bracelets and need help. :)
Ilovefred119 7 months ago
@Ilovefred119 Carefully. Haha.
Basically, pick the knot you want colored and carefully dab the color on to the entire "bubble" of the knot. I'd use either a permanent sharpie or a fabric marker. Don't worry about the back... just make the front look good.
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
@BeyondBracelets Haha I meant how to make the actual bracelet without the black string :)
Ilovefred119 7 months ago
@Ilovefred119 Oh, lolol. Sorry.
I could make up a pattern for you if you would like. Are you able to follow through with the patterns of friendship-bracelets(dot)net or would you prefer I just inbox you explaining?
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
SUCH a great pattern!!! i cant wait t do this one after finish the rainbow arrowhead!! except what i do that is REALLY annyoing is leave holes from doing the knots uneven. sigh.

@waterbottleyea Try wiggling your knots upward slightly, don't pull the base string like you have a kung fu death grip on it while you wiggle upward though.
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
@BeyondBracelets Lol okay!!! thx for the advice :)
waterbottleyea 7 months ago
@waterbottleyea No problem. Good luck and if it keeps happening you could try doing a video of you making the bracelet- I can usually tell why knots are getting messed up if I see how people are pulling their strings.
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
@BeyondBracelets okay thanks :) I was thinking about it. But I'll try your advice first.
waterbottleyea 7 months ago
@BeyondBracelets I just used your advice and its turning out great. Thank you SO much! You're amazing :)

What do you mean by even rows?.. This is so confusing!
mangoCrazy31 7 months ago
@mangoCrazy31 If you read the description you'll see what it means.
There are rows for the pattern, row 1 is the first row. It is an odd row. There is row 2 which is the second row, that is an even row. Row three is next... three is an odd number/row.

how many times do you have to repeat to get a full bracelet?
R0ttenStrawberry 7 months ago
@R0ttenStrawberry I couldn't tell you, just keep measuring it to your wrist. If it's for someone else 7 1/2 inches is usually a safe length.
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
This is a very cute pattern, thanks :)
chiejohinna 7 months ago
Love you bracelets and videos, but I had a question. I just bought some string from walmart, and its really tiny. So, its hard for me to keep track of the knots and what not, especially since I'm a beginner. What string would you suggest for me.
TheOmuur 7 months ago
@TheOmuur You should be using either six stranded embroidery floss or craft thread.
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
haha i think this is the most confusing thing ive ever seen... i love your videos but im gonna hav to watch this one a few times before i understand it :)
Ilovefred119 7 months ago
@Ilovefred119 The seeds made this more difficult than it had to be- honestly, if you wanted to cheat you could just do basic triangles and then add seed beads where you wanted the dots... lol. That or be REALLY ghetto and just use some marker... or stitch them in after the fact.
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
@BeyondBracelets I like the marker idea... i bet i could find markers that wouldnt run in water... i'll keep working at it first though. i usually cut shorter strings than neccissary first for practice then cut the actual ones once ive got it. :)
Ilovefred119 7 months ago
@Ilovefred119 Fabric markers would be my best guess at something water safe. Also, it's good you use short strings to practice. I do that too and it's the best way to get a swatch of the pattern just to make sure you understand it and like the colors you picked for it. Good luck!
BeyondBracelets 7 months ago
do you have to use dark green cause I dont have it. Also I didnt see where it is needed
sakuraflora3 8 months ago
@sakuraflora3 You don't have to use dark green, you could use the same shade... I just used it to give it more depth and interest.
Look at the "Show more" below the video... right at the [CLICK HERE FOR INSTRUCTIONS] text... I always type out a video description and tell you everything you need to know there. String lengths, set up and even the pattern is typed out.

@27volleyballgirl Soon enough. Right now my internet router is dying and it's causing my internet to run so slow I can hardly open emails without refreshing 20 times... but Monday afternoon some time I should (hopefully) be able to get a new router for my internet... so once I get a new one I should be back to posting videos regularly.

@BeyondBracelets oh i get it thanks its coming out pretty could u make some more summer patterns thanks :)
sparklefish12 8 months ago
@sparklefish12 I'll look into it... maybe I'll do my octopus pattern that I made up. It's really beachy and summery.... I think it would come out cute but since I just made the pattern and haven't actually tried it I'm not sure how it will look... but maybe I will try it out and see if it is worth posting.

gottojump 8 months ago
@gottojump Haha, well practice makes perfect. If you are practicing try using half the required length of string (25-30 inches appx.) and fold it- that will let you practice TWICE while still using just one bracelets worth of string.
I always use minimal when practicing new patterns... it's much harder to work with long strings, so I make myself a "sample" before wasting lots of string. This also helps serve as a color swatch so you can determine if the colors you plan to use will work nicely.
BeyondBracelets 8 months ago
I tried it but the black "seeds" were as big as my finger, taking up most of the watermelon. I don't know wit happened.:(
catzeye510 8 months ago
@catzeye510 Sounds like you were a victim of "KNOT FLIPS" go to my channel and click the help section, look up knot flips.
BeyondBracelets 8 months ago
I think I"ll try and make some of these for the "Kiddo's" Becuz you're right it is very summery! Depends how fast I can knock em out... Just cranked out 4 of the awareness ribbons tonight... took about 1.5 hours each :/
lashyon 8 months ago
Fold the pinks and black in half then add the light and dark green as full strands. Tie with an overhand knot.
i dont understand just this

I'm soooo trying this when i get more strings:)!!! Can you do a penguin pattern please :o? I saw one on the frienship bracelet website i think the pattern number is 3887..I just can never understand the written instructions that go with it :/ I find it better when someone shows me how to do it :p

@LiveLoveLifeGIR Not sure which penguin that is but I picked a penguin one already for a tutorial I just haven't gotten around to making it.

wow you made that up!!!??? thats amazing you have some serious skillz! looking forward to trying it, good job
AnimalSaviour101 8 months ago
@AnimalSaviour101 Yeah, I play with the pattern generator on friendshipbracelets(dot)net quite a bit.
Sometimes I just mess with the generator when I'm bored... occasionally cool things come from it.
BeyondBracelets 8 months ago
@BeyondBracelets Thats cool you should do that more often cause these are really good looking bracelets :P looking forward to more i hope
AnimalSaviour101 8 months ago
What happened to the pattern? I tried to click the link since it's easier for me to follow written patterns and it said that couldn't be found, and now it appears as pattern #41121 :S
fandelesluthiers 8 months ago
@fandelesluthiers I asked one of the mods to delete the first one... I moved some of the seeds around and I wanted to re-do the pattern so they deleted it for me- unfortunately the user can't delete their own video so it took a while, I'll go check on it now.
BeyondBracelets 8 months ago
@BeyondBracelets Oh I see :)
And, -sorry for being so annoying- but I have another question. How do you estimate the lenght of the strings? Like when you're making a pattern from FB.net, because I tend to use too much, to make sure I won't run out, and then end up with a lot of left over string.
fandelesluthiers 8 months ago
@fandelesluthiers There's no way for me to answer this... I don't know how tight or loose you make your knots.
The only way to know for sure is to measure how much you're using, make the bracelet, then measure how much you are cutting off as left over. (Double the number of how much you cut off since strings are usually folded) Subtract the amount you cut off from the starting amount and you'll see how much you need to shorten the strings then bracelets of similar size should use that amount.
BeyondBracelets 8 months ago
@BeyondBracelets Ok thanks so much :), mine is almost finished, I'll post a pic soon :D

You are beyond talented!! All your designs are amazing all I can do is the forward candy stripe I think it's proven more difficult for me because I'm left handed. Any advice?
TheBronzeKitty 8 months ago
@TheBronzeKitty Hm... I never really considered the "left handed" friendship bracelet makers so this is a really amazing question...
I'm right handed but I've actually been able to train my left hand to make my forward knots. If I think up anything more "useful" on this topic I'll try to post a video but all I can say now is try to train your right hand to do some backward knotting.
*Check my "beginner" playlist for tips and maybe try training your right hand with some backward candystripes!
