► Friendship Bracelet Tutorial 11 - Intermediate - The Cupcake Bracelet

[laurengilonske10]

I LOVE you! Like seriously! Your AMAZING!

All the other videos are so bleh and dark and you can hardly understand what there saying!!

But you are so clear and explain everything so well..

Your the reason why I started getting more into friendship bracelet making!

Keep up the good work!

Also...

THANK YOU !!!!!! (:

[ipark1234]

Looks almost like a pancake

[BeyondBracelets]

@ipark1234 Haha... maybe you pulled too loose or too tight? Either way... at least it looks like something. Just call it a pancake instead. =3

[ipark1234]

I tried and I got a really bad cupcake...

[psilikepie]

For the end u no were u just make the background color couldnt u just weave it like if ur strings r getting short

[BeyondBracelets]

@psilikepie Not sure what you mean just weave it.

[psilikepie]

@BeyondBracelets i mean like in the alpha bracelets the backgroound color u take one string and then just do rows of it making the background color. I am so sorry that i keep bombarding you with questions this just is the only time i can make them so i hope im not ruining ur holidays

[psilikepie]

@BeyondBracelets I mean in the alpha braclet for the backround u weave it with the background

[BeyondBracelets]

@psilikepie You do fk, bk, fk, bk rows and just continue.

[seemarules]

What should u do if u didnt measure your strings the right length and they become to short?

[BeyondBracelets]

@seemarules Check my mutlicolor alpha tutorial and you could try to add in new strings like that. I may try to make a video on it but right now I'm taking it easy for the Christmas break I'm on.

[seemarules]

i am so gonna try this. is it ok that sometimes i use a loom does it make me unexperience..just wondering! you are really good at this! how old r u, u sound like a teenager!!!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@seemarules The loom makes it a bit better and I guess some could say you're being lame for using one but whatever works for you is fine. Also, I'm 24.

[Inkenzie]

Ok  u beyond u dont have to tell us about it

[BeyondBracelets]

@Inkenzie Maybe I want to? I created the pattern so I think I have a right in my own video to tell people a bit about it. From the sounds of it you don't have patience to listen to a half minute of talking so might I ask why bother watching at all? Learn some respect, especially on the holidays.

[Hotasice1998]

Can you do some Christmas/holiday themed bracelets?

[BeyondBracelets]

@Hotasice1998 There aren't many online, honestly. I've been trying to make up some patterns. So far I have about three tree patterns, a gingerbread boy and a gingerbread girl (separate bracelets) so I'll try to get them up. I really need to get to the art store and get a bit more string. I'm running out of decent colors for my tutorials... testing patterns has used most of my supply.

[cghynd]

If brown is your background color in the video, where r the strings that will b the cupcake base? I'm confused someone plz answer, thnx:)

[BeyondBracelets]

@cghynd Video description.

[thehottiezofhotchip]

Mine turned out beautiful! Thank you! I was wondering if you could make a pineapple or watermelon bracelet tutorial. Thank you! :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@thehottiezofhotchip I have one for watermelons but it's very "basic" shapes and less like a realistic one. I guess I could try working on a more realistic one, though.

[thehottiezofhotchip]

@BeyondBracelets I will check out the tutorial on the watermelon and see how good it is, I'm pretty sure that it'll be fine. its really funny, cause the only one on youtube that can teach me is you. When ever I try and learn from someone else, I fail.

[thehottiezofhotchip]

@BeyondBracelets I use a loom as well. It really helps. Especially with alpha and chevron bracelets.

[Rodrickrules1]

I don't have brown ahhhhhhhh

[BeyondBracelets]

@Rodrickrules1 Make it a different color then. Strawberry cupcakes, vanilla, etc.

[TheDarcang3l]

Thanks and uh why do you have 7 browns rather than 7 pinks? Confused. Haha sorry 4 asking so much

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheDarcang3l I switched the colors in the tutorial. The background color will have the most strings.

[TheDarcang3l]

Ohh thanks! And how come you have 7 browns instead of 7 pink? Sorry for askin so maby questions haha

[TheDarcang3l]

How long did you take doing this and i am really a beginner and I'm trying this for my best friends bday!

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheDarcang3l It'd probably take about three hours to complete a full length if you work quickly.

[Browerchick]

I finally finished my full length bracelet of this pattern ( I am a lazy being:D) and it is SO cute!  I am in love! THANK YOU! :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@xRainYb0W Alphas work entire rows back and forth, regular patterns are completely different. Some find alphas much easier.

[lakemichigan101]

can you please do a pacman bracelet??????(:

[JazzyCowz1729]

can you please make a cow pattern

[dorkdiaries17]

this pattern is so cute

[ThePandagirl04]

This is a cool bracelet!!

[braceletloVer1]

What kind of string do you use because on your penguin tutorial it looks really thick but when I made it with embroidary floss it was alot thinner .....by the way I lOVE ur vids!!!!! :) i know how 2 mAke all of them!!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@braceletloVer1 It's just six stranded embroidery floss. It's not thick, I'm just close to the camera. "My Super Thick String & Giant Hands" video covers it.

[PeaceJavi]

Is it possible to make a bracelet with the communist sign on it? :)

[BeyondBracelets]

@PeaceJavi Your best bet would be an alphabet pattern... I can't seem to find a good grid pattern for one, though.

[TheBieberfever08]

@BeyondBracelets thank you I thought I would not be able to make one until my computer worked again thank you soo much :D

[TheBieberfever08]

Alright so I have a question and a compliment. Compliment is I love love love all you're tutorials I use them to make pretty much every bracelet I have made :). And question my computer is being difficult so I can't use it so I am on my iPod and it does not show a description (I hate it when it does that) and I can't tell the difference between the pink and the white so do u think u could tell the set up please?

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheBieberfever08 There are 12 Strings total and you will be using 4 different colors.

1 = Pink (Background Color)

2 = Red (Color Of The Cherry)

3 = White (Frosting Color)

4 = Brown (Cupcake Base Color)

You will need to cut 3 Pink, 1 White and 1 Brown 65" (inches) long

Fold the 65" strands in half and cut yourself two more strings half their length:

1 Red (about 33" inches)

1 Extra Pink (about 33" inches)

Set Up Your Strings As Follows: 1 2 1 3 1 3 (middle point) 1 4 1 4 1 1

[babygirls354]

Everytime I try to make a bracelet I always seem to mess up even if I'm following a video , how long does it usually take to make like a candy stripe one? Thanx

[BeyondBracelets]

@babygirls354 It depends on how fast you knot. If you mess up maybe try using a cardboard loom to get it started.

[Nooreen1828x]

When i Made This Bracelet i Ended Up With Loads Of Kinda Gaps/Little Holes All Throughout :/

Is It Suppose To Look Like That Or Am i Doing Something Wrong?

(:

[BeyondBracelets]

@Nooreen1828x There shouldn't be holes. Look up my video "♦ There's HOLES in my Friendship Bracelet! HELP! (Chevron Help)"

[jfklover727]

what kind of string are you using?? it looks pretty thick

[BeyondBracelets]

@jfklover727 It's not thick, it's just less than 5 inches from the camera. Six Stranded Embroidery Floss.

[jfklover727]

@BeyondBracelets I see. Mine looked thick to me right now too! Its just that I am blind lol

[kyliemarshallx]

Does it matter where i put the short strings?

[BeyondBracelets]

@kyliemarshallx Not really, they act the same as the long strings. After the folding and knotting all the strings are the same- you won't even be able to tell which were the short ones.

[MissLilCutiee]

thats real cute. i love your inventions. keep it up. i was thinking maybe star ones, or mario ones?(: i bet lots of people would enjoy those suggestions!(:

[sakura11th]

I've never made bracelets so i'm a beginner, I made this and followed your tutorial and it came out perfectly, you inspired me to start making these bracelets! And you are so good at explaining and making tutorials! Thank you so much for being on youtube [: Keep inspiring others :D

[2001evan2001]

are rows 13-16 really necessary? the're just the same over and over, are they just to make enough space between the cupcakes or something?

[BeyondBracelets]

@2001evan2001 Yeah, spacing between the cupcakes. You could make it shorter/longer if you wanted.

[cupcakecutiehead]

Hi! anyway as u can see by my username I love cupcakes and I only know how to do the candystripe I'm a beginner but I'm patient tho do u think I can manage without messing it up?

[BeyondBracelets]

@cupcakecutiehead Try using the cardboard loom or a piece of felt (like in my felted clipboard video) and maybe it will help you keep your strings in order. It's not so much a patience thing as much as it is an organizational thing. So long as you keep the strings in order you should be fine.

[JumpingPeanuts1]

i looked at the pattern paper and made the icecream cone. do you have these pattern templats on our website?

[BeyondBracelets]

@JumpingPeanuts1 The icecream cone one was from Friendship-Bracelets(dot)net. I modified it to make a cupcake.

[JumpingPeanuts1]

i love this pattern paper!!!!!could you make some more?!?!?!

[kaylaa2213]

Your Amazing!! Thanks So Much I Learn Alot From You,Can You Make A Smiley Face One?(:

[BeyondBracelets]

@kaylaa2213 Yeah, I guess I could put it on the to-do list.

[kaylaa2213]

@BeyondBracelets Yay Thanks So Much Cuz I Have A Really Hard Time Reading The Pattern Paper

[babaluceone]

Do you think you could male a strawberry bracelet?

[BeyondBracelets]

@babaluceone I guess I could try to make one. Yeah.

[babaluceone]

I managed the penguin, do you think I'll manage this?

[BeyondBracelets]

@babaluceone Yeah, this is easier than the penguin I think.

[babaluceone]

Can beginners try this without it going completely wrong?!

[BeyondBracelets]

@babaluceone Depends on how patient and 'natural' at it you are. You can try but your best bet is to start learning with the beginner basics playlist I have up.

If you've made a double chevron, heart and/or a diamond pattern of any sort then maybe... but if you've never made a bracelet I don't know how well it would go over. You can try but I really do suggest learning slowly instead of jumping in to the deep end- It will just end up leading to frustration and quitting for the most part.

[babaluceone]

Do you think a beginner could try this?

[121511loveyou]

@BeyondBracelets thank you soo much :D

[121511loveyou]

Can you say the colors in order like the very beging when you lign them up can yu say the colors from left to right plz sorry is because im using my phone to see this nd your using light pink nd white nd i cant see so would yu plz tell me the colors in order from left to right it will really help alot ;)

[BeyondBracelets]

@121511loveyou If you can see video descriptions on your phone it has everything there.

brown-red-brown-pink-brown-pin­k-brown-pink-brown-pink-brown-­brown

[133taylorswift]

I've tried a lot of bracelets but the beginning for me is unclear.

I don't get what to do...

[BeyondBracelets]

@133taylorswift I start from the beginning, though. Unless you mean tying it. If you mean starting it by folding strings and all just go to my "How To Start & Finish Friendship Bracelets" or my "How To Cut & Fold Your Strings" videos and it should help you figure it out.

[133taylorswift]

@BeyondBracelets, No not trying to tie it when you fast-forward in the beginning I can't see what you're doing...

[BeyondBracelets]

@133taylorswift The video isn't supposed to be followed fully, it's just a guide on what to expect as the knots are made. I tried to shorten some videos because people complain about length and so if I had a "candystripe" row of straight knots I'd just say "7fk" and fast forward it since intermediates should understand forward knots head right and each knot needs a string to be knotted on... so it'd jump 7 strands.

The written video description is the most useful thing to follow for my videos.

[133taylorswift]

@BeyondBracelets All right, so I guess I'll try and follow the written directions instead.

Hopefully I'll understand those.

Thanks for the help, though.

[133taylorswift]

@BeyondBracelets And, also in this video you have a brown background, how do you do the pink background instead?

I'm not a big fan of the brown background.

[BeyondBracelets]

@133taylorswift The video description tells you which string numbers/colors are correlated.

There are 12 Strings total and you will be using 4 different colors.

1 = Pink (Background Color)

2 = Red (Color Of The Cherry)

3 = White (Frosting Color)

4 = Brown (Cupcake Base Color)

That was all in the video description.

[133taylorswift]

I am so so confused by both the video and instructions...I get lost everytime I go back and try and fix it and then I'm way off with what your bracelet looks like...

[BeyondBracelets]

@133taylorswift Have you done many bracelets before? Or is this one of your first?

[smartandsmall]

you know what I love about your videos? is that I can check each stage to make sure my strings are right, but I can easily look down in the description bar what knots to do for each stage! it's amazing and very easy and quick :) P.S. I LOVE BAKING SO WHEN I CAME ACROSS THIS I WAS SUPER EXCITED!!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@smartandsmall Haha. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the kind words!

[traceeenommerzxx]

how do you do the knot? like i know how you make the knots, but how do you do the backward forward thing?

[BeyondBracelets]

@traceeenommerzxx They're mixed knots. You make one of each type starting with the one that comes first. Normal knots are basically FK/FK and BK/BK but for mixed you do them like FK/BK and BK/FK. If you're still confused go to my video on the four types of knots. I think it's in the beginner basics playlist on my channel.

[michy953]

nnvvvvvvm hahahaxD

[michy953]

in your desricption you have the string # mixed up

[BeyondBracelets]

@michy953 Where? Tell me how I messed up otherwise I can't fix it if it is wrong.

[michy953]

@BeyondBracelets no sorry:) because at first thought you were going o do the 1 with the pink backround and got confused sorry

[BeyondBracelets]

@michy953 Oh, it's fine. I switched the strings/colors because I thought the light pink would be too hard to see on a white background.

[shoppinglove15]

I love this friendship bracelet design! You make it look so easy and you explain how to do it really good! Mine came out pretty good. You're really talented at making friendship bracelets!

[catp0wers]

i made this pattern and i love it! i've received so many compliments, so thank you. i wanted to find more patterns so i went on friendship-bracelets . net but the website is saying it's been suspended. do you know why?

[BeyondBracelets]

@catp0wers I have no idea... I think I'll try to message Steffe (The owner of Friendship-Bracelets(dot)net) and see what's up.

Lots of people are commenting on it being broken which is a shame- the site is a really great resource so hopefully it will be back soon.

[cheerleaderatheart77]

so when its like all folded and tied, how many of each color are there? you wrote is too confusing in the discription. like in the video i only see two pinks and two whites,.. why are you saying seven now?

[BeyondBracelets]

The colors in the description is for the pink background version. The colors can be swapped, the set up is the same regardless of color. Everything was typed correctly.

[cheerleaderatheart77]

@BeyondBracelets oh i gotchha(: haha i figured it out after i already posted it and realized you just swaped the colors. thanks though, and my bracelet came out awesomeeeee (: so thankks

[BeyondBracelets]

@cheerleaderatheart77 You're welcome.

[LifelessStar]

Is there a difference between the length of normal bracelets and this one?? What lengths would you say normal ones have to be cause i usually guess

[BeyondBracelets]

@LifelessStar They're almost always 65" inches.

[LifelessStar]

@BeyondBracelets the string to make it or the final bracelet.

[BeyondBracelets]

@LifelessStar The string needs to be 65" (inches) long. When it's folded it will become 32.5 for each strand. When it's DONE it will only be about 6.5-7 inches depending on how tight you knot. Knots take up a lot of string.

[LifelessStar]

@BeyondBracelets Okie dokie that makes more sense...i was thinking after its folded in half is 65" haha thank you :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@LifelessStar Nah, it's 65" (inches) and THEN folded. It'd be crazy if it was folded becomes 65" per string... you could probably make a necklace with that length. lol... anyway, you're welcome.

[kaylamariekerley]

Dude i love ur videos !!! Already did the ribbon awareness one and it came out great! I think ill try this one and another one of yours :D

[sparklefish12]

do the written directions work r they the same ur using in the video??? cause u said u messed up on them in the video plz help

[BeyondBracelets]

@sparklefish12 I fix them by the time I type them in to the description. I make the video first and will catch the mistake before I upload and will have time to fix it before I type anything out. I won't ever purposely post a messed up pattern in the description. That said, it should be fine.

[sparklefish12]

thank i underr starnd now

[sparklefish12]

how come i only see 2 whites when u typed 3 whites

[BeyondBracelets]

@sparklefish12 I didn't type 3 whites... 3 is the place holder/label of all of the white strings. 1 was the place holder for pink, but there are actually 7 pinks.

1 2 1 3 1 3 (middle point) 1 4 1 4 1 1

It's all in the description.

[sparklefish12]

you are the best friendship bracelet maker er in the world i will subscribe for u

[braceletmaniac]

[PandaLuver333]

omg, thank you SO much! i loved this video and it helped me out a lot. :]

[CupcakePrincess2397]

how do u make your first one like color orders bcs i would like the same cupcake but with a purple background

[BeyondBracelets]

@CupcakePrincess2397 Copy and pasted from the description bar:

There are 12 Strings total and you will be using 4 different colors.

1 = Pink (Background Color)

2 = Red (Color Of The Cherry)

3 = White (Frosting Color)

4 = Brown (Cupcake Base Color)

Too many people ask me things that I've already taken much care to answer via descriptions so please read the description from now on.

[CupcakePrincess2397]

@BeyondBracelets i mean like is it purple then red then what

[BeyondBracelets]

@CupcakePrincess2397 I'm guessing you still haven't read the video description.

Click "SHOW MORE" and read because EVERYTHING you need to know is already typed out there.

[CupcakePrincess2397]

i am siooooooooooooooooooo making this

[CupcakePrincess2397]

so if u do backward knot u use the second string n if you start with a forward u use the first string

[BeyondBracelets]

@beccawalter I'd make it and post it for sale on ebay.

[BeyondBracelets]

@beccawalter If you want... I charge $15 for bracelets this thick/detailed with $2.00 shipping. (I do delivery confirmation as well.)

Normally I would charge extra for custom bracelet orders but since you're a subscriber (and I'm not very busy right at this point in time) I'll do the custom part of it free- If you're still interested just send in what colors you want the pattern to be.

[BeyondBracelets]

@beccawalter Video Description.

[TrueSuccessor]

This bracelet is amazing I love it :D I made it for my sister and she loved it too Thanks

[BeyondBracelets]

@TrueSuccessor You're welcome- Does she happen to also love watermelons?

(SPOILER: I just posted a brand spankin' new watermelon slice pattern on FB.NET and plan on doing a tutorial on it today some time.)

[Jazxbracelets]

I've started mine and its great!

Thanks!

keep making bracelets.

Jaz x

[BeyondBracelets]

@haleyselena It's all in the description.

[imjustrandom2698]

I finished mine it's so cute! And perfect for my friends gift lol thx!!! (:

[braceletmaniac]

I just finished this bracelet and it is so cute!!! Thank you so much!! You are amazing at making these bracelets!!! Thanks

[wchild56]

i love cupcakes!

my nickname is cupcake girl :D

i'd love to make this but i have no patience to do this :/

if you could make me one. i'd love to buy it off of you.

[BeyondBracelets]

@wchild56 Well, I charge 15 for the "bigger/thicker" bracelets and a dollar shipping. Two dollars if you're out of the USA. (I use this pricing on my ebay listings for them)

If you're still interested just give me which colors you want and the size of your wrist and I'll make you one.

I'd suggest contrasting colors that are brighter/better (EX: White background, pink cupcake, green frosting) than the ones I picked for my tutorial- since It was a new pattern and I wasn't sure how they'd look.

[wchild56]

@BeyondBracelets

thanks for the info

and i'll let you know in a couple weeks thanks so much :)

[sierratagle]

You are a bracelet making goddess. I love you with a non lesbian burning passion that is firing deeply in my friendship bracelet making soul and I thank you for that. Rock on.

[BeyondBracelets]

@sierratagle You should be proud of yourself. Your comment is now deemed (in my eyes) as the best one I have ever received thus far. I read it twice. ♥

It was poetic with a hint of creepy.

I love poetic with a hint of creepy.

[kid13560]

very good ！！！！！！！

[emmalynwatson54321]

btw how do u do the backwards/forwards & forwards/backwards knots?? ~:\

[BeyondBracelets]

@emmalynwatson54321 Go to my beginner videos, I have a video explaining them.

[emmalynwatson54321]

i love love love this bracelet it is so cute :) i am currently making 3 of them for me & my 2 bffs { btw cupcakes are awesome :D }

[shortie8806]

can you post the tutorial for the original ice cream pattern? i found a different tutorial for it but it was terrible and made no sense. thanks!

[putters816]

I am new at friendship bracelet making and would like to know if you could tell me what strings in your videos are what colors in the description. Cause I was a little confused!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@putters816

There are 12 Strings total and you will be using 4 different colors.

1 = Pink (Background Color)

2 = Red (Color Of The Cherry)

3 = White (Frosting Color)

4 = Brown (Cupcake Base Color)

Set Up Your Strings As Follows: 1 2 1 3 1 3 (middle point) 1 4 1 4 1 1

It was in the description.

[xoxabigailiaxox]

This may be a stupid question, but do you know how to do the alpha patterns? And I'm new to friendship bracelet making, and I don't understand the alpha and 1212 bracelets. Can you explain those?

But, GREAT video!

[BeyondBracelets]

@xoxabigailiaxox I've been really feeling sick lately so I am taking a break from craft videos/tutorials for a while but when I feel better I will post a video explaining them if you'd like.

I do have a multi-color alpha tutorial up if you're interested- the multi and the normal alpha are really similar.

As for the 1212 patterns, I can make a video explaining those- yeah.

[Oscar307975]

=D awesome!

[BeyondBracelets]

@Oscar307975 Thank you. =D

[dolphins123456789098]

Luv it!!!!!! <3

[BeyondBracelets]

@dolphins123456789098

Thank you youtuber with a lot of numbers behind their name! haha.

I can honestly say that you win for most numbers I've seen in a username!

[OmgItsMomoGirl]

That is soo cute!

[faithhopelove001]

aw its so cute!, i love it!! :D

[BeyondBracelets]

@faithhopelove001 I'm glad you love it. =D

[TheMilklover3]

Wonderful video as usual!!

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheMilklover3 Thank you. <3

[TheMsSingapore]

i think you should use a different color for the background cause at first when you showed the sample i didnt know what it was.

except that looks nice :)

[BeyondBracelets]

@TheMsSingapore I ended up using two background colors, the light and dark.

This is the first time I've EVER made this bracelet so I didn't know how they would come out looking.
