when ever i try and tie my letter strand which is red around my weaving strand which is black there is always a hole any way i can fix it ? please help
I need to make 3 T's on a friendship bracelet (along with a few other letters)...and I can't get the Vertical line centered without making it really thick, and it looks...awful :P
@leahnyc25 Check my channel for the banner at the top. Click the yellow "Start Here" button and you should try to watch/understand those basic tutorials before coming back here. It may help you a bit. Good luck.
@5555555555988 The patterns in this video I made with markers and a blank grid. If you want pre-made patterns they are listed in the video description.
@dwilkent24 I'd do red as the base strings and then make the weaving string whatever color you want the background.. then to get that one black letter you substitute a black string in like in the multicolor alpha tutorial.
WOW! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!! You're sooo good at teaching!!! Are you a teacher? Coz if not, u should be!!! I LUV YOUR VIDS!!! Please make more tutorials on them!! LUV IT!!!! <3 :)
@smile4800 It would look the same. I just put it on the side because it is showing how to attach it. You will need to attach new weaving strings and so I killed two birds with one stone by leaving it detached.
@hafsa1471 Don't pull the base string hard. Be gentle and let the string that is making the knot be in control while loosening up on the string which is getting knotted on.
@deepdiistance The base strings depend most on how many letters. 5 or so should be 65 inches and still fit about 7 inches (you have ties so the bracelet doesn't need to be the full length) if you have 6-10 letters maybe try 70 inches. For the weaving strand you just add in more as you need it. It will probably take an entire skein for the full background. You can use it as a full skein or just cut it and attach like in the multi-color alpha tutorial.
So, basically, any pattern you make on graph paper (like you would for a bead loom) can be created with this method (granted a ton of colors would get NUTS!). Very cool. Thank you for explaining this so well.
@CMBnet Yeah, bead loom patterns would work for this method. I think that the multicolor alpha would be better suited for them most likely. Also... you're welcome. I'm glad you understood.
I have a suggestion: Your videos are really good, and I'm not trying to offend you, but if you fast forward the parts that you aren't really talking and you're just knotting a little bit so the videos will be a little shorter and more people will watch them :)
you said we will need more than one string for the weaving string, so when we're finished with that string...we need to tie another one to the bracelet? how do we do that? won't there be a bump in the bracelet or something?
@yourpersonalgroupie I should post a video on how to tie it on but... if you stop using the short string and add the new one tie it on to the next string you will be using and then after tying on make a basic '4 knot' using bk or fk depending on the row. I try to do that in the middle of the row because if you do it at the edges it is more noticeable. At the end cut off the strands on the back and add a dab of glue. Should be fine.
@inspelled Go to friendship-bracelets*net and click on the "Generate" tab. You'll see a red and white grid for Name Bracelets- Type your name or the letter you need help with there and it should be 7 strings. It's one more than you wanted but it's still not that bad. Hope that helps.
I keep trying and I can get everything to work upto when I try to do the letter. The first thing that happens is the notes don't sit right no matter what I do or how I hold it. The second thing is when I do make the letters and I pull to try to get them to sit right is that they go side ways so instead of a square they end up on an angel. I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong as all the others I've done so far worked.
@inspelled I can't really help more unless you show me how you are making them. You can do this by making a video and marking it as 'visible only to those who have the link' then sending me the link in my private inbox. You could also try taking a picture but I will still be guessing what you are doing.
I'll try to make a video and see if you could help me with it there. I'm trying them sideways more then up and down otherwise yea I tend to get confussed.
@inspelled You're welcome. Excuse if I don't reply tonight though. I'm off to bed now (it's after midnight here) so I'll try to look it over tomorrow sometime.
@inspelled Well, good luck. I know it's difficult to film when you have really bad camera 'supports' to angle it. You could try to use some clothe to tie it to something like a folded towel or something? I don't know... =x
I think I finally fingured it out. With me I have to pull the braclet sideways to sit the strings right. It's not perfect in the lettered rows but I believe it will do. Thanks again
you said 65 inches for the weaving string, but you're using a lot less. I guess you just ''add more as you run out'', but how do you add another string to your weaving string? Do you just tie it on, because I thought that if you do that one of your knots on the bracelet will be oddly large and weird.........help?
Im doing HK :). for each foreground string, I have about 2 and a half feet. for my weaving string, I have about 5 feet. will that be enough? if not, how do I add more string to it?
@MrsJoCullen I could try to make a video on The tie on just to show it. What you'll do is tie it on a new weaving string to the next available base string with a normal knot then make a single fk or bk depending on what it was supposed to be. Tying it on will count as a knot and will take one place of a normal 2-part knot.
I try to do the tie on within 3 knots before the edge so it does alter the edges of the bracelet.
awesome, picked it up pretty much straight away, it is fiddly and fairly complicated but once you get the hang of it its alright! Good video, thank you! x
Your otherone was perfect! Ive been sunscribed to you for a year and you do an AMAZING job at teaching! You were the first person i went to learn alphas and now i can make so many things!!!!! Keep up the AMAZING work 3
you know at roughlt 15:30.. you talk about not pulling on your string because it will droop, well basically, im struggling to do this. when i pulll up on the other string.. i dont understand how you dont pull on the other string.. otherwise i have no control on the knot?
@blueflower951 Be very gentle. The base string knotting on to the weaving string can be tricky. You have to lightly guide the weaving string while letting the base string do the work. It takes some practice.. just try different tensions on a practice bracelet and see what happens when you pull more, pull less, pull at a different angle, etc.
Funny thing:today i was to school with the bracelate with my name....Alll girls sawed it and now,each wants one.I said``money``....2 dolars each!!Now i have to make 15 bracelates...Lolz,I win money 4 that,...
@MileyWebkinzFan900 I know, i may my scottish, but people at school were like, omg i want one and i was like.. well they take time so i will charge.. and my closet friends are paying me 4 pounds, whereas others are paying me 5! IN ADVANCED!! i have 6 people that have paid me 4 pounds and 8 that have paid me 5... i have64 pounds with me!!!
@chaoscrafts Haha, hey there girly. Long time no talk. =D
I got my sleep machine and a new mask (the first one they fit me with didn't fit but this new one does) and I finally slept for the first time in like... 5+ years. It was glorious. I slept like 12 hours straight. ^_^ I still don't feel 100% yet but it might take a few weeks to get into rejuvenating myself and having my body stop craving sleep.
We need to talk. Maybe tomorrow I'll sit on AIM and see if you hop on. =D
yay congrats!! have fun sleeping haha i work all day ugh double shift killed me my feet hurt LoL! at leaast i got stickers for resin like 23042 % off #winning. I get home tomorrow at 2 so i should possibly be on! ugh i haven't made a craft video in forever it makes me a sad panda
@SuccetteTheLollipop I'm going to take a guess you were using craft thread. I had that problem with craft thread when I was first starting out. I switched to six stranded embroidery floss and haven't had a string snap ever since the switch.
@SuccetteTheLollipop Craft store should have it... Walmart has craft thread but I find it much weaker than six stranded embroidery floss found in the art stores.
@xXCheyenne94Xx You can use as many as you need. Count the boxes on your pattern and that is how many base strings you will need. The written instructions below the video explain further.
Hey hey! I have a quick question (kind of). I commented on an earlier video because I couldn't perform the pattern correctly. You had told me it was because I was holding too tightly to the foreground string. Does this mean that I can just hold it loosely and if the knot flips just let it be, then continue as normal with the other strings?
@TheSaturdayParty If the knot is flipping you need to adjust tension of the opposite string by making it a bit tighter so it flips back.
Alphas are a bit tricky with how you need to pull the strings. If you need to make a knot onto the weaving string with the background string you need to loosen up on the weaving string and let the background string be in control. If it's the color of the weaving string then you did it a bit too tight.
hey i love your videos and i would like to know wat type of string u use because i have string that is always separating and it is really annoying i already tried thick string but its not the same
@mimihotti Six stranded embroidery floss. Some people use craft thread but I find it to be weaker. It won't "separate" like embroidery floss but if you pull too hard or wear the string down it is more likely to snap. There are pros and cons for both floss and craft thread... in the end it's up to you to decide which one you like more and can tolerate.
How do we start this ? Besides a loop' because I'm making a bracelet with a picture , and there's 15 strings including the long string? And how do. U end it?
Thank you so much. My knots were always sagging and doing that so i gave up all the time :D i thought it was the way i was doing my knots. now i know. that really helped. :D
@IzzyCruz100 Nothing you can do about it other than just look for smaller patterns, Smaller patterns mean less detail that is why people use more- they want more detail.
OH MY GOD!!!! thank you sosososososso*** much for making this. i know it must have been really hard to film these long videos but im SO glad you did. oh my god, u have no idea how much this helped. you're amazing! :D
just wanted to say your site is awesome! thanks for being the only person, ive found so far, who isnt an annoying teenage girl, and someone who knows what the heck shes talking about! just wanted to say that youre appreciated! and uh keep up the awesome patterns!
when I do a row of forward knots and then another row of backward knots, it turns into a zig zag kind of bracelet. this question might sound stupid but I am confused!
I've been making bracelets with knots like these and most of the times when I do one in a knew style it's because i though up of it. I've never learned how to read grid patterns so thank you so much for this video :D
thanks for this tutorial. Great demo and I was able to make my first letter. I think I will have a problem if I have to use more than two colors. I don't know how to place them. I guess I'll learn as I do more. I've only made 4 bracelets, 2candy and 2 pink ribbon because I followed your demos. I like that you talk us through the video. Very helpful. I find myself saying backward knot, forward knot, backward forward knot while I'm doing them. Good that I'm alone when I do that.
@BeyondBracelets Thanks. I watched the video and it makes so much more sense than what I thought I would have to do. I'm going to practice 2 color alphas some more before I venture into multicolor
thank you so much for helping me out i really do appreciate it ........this is just a request can u please please show the bracelet #261 or #8965 sorry to bother you its just that i had my heart set on those two but i couldn't figure them out plz and thank you LOVE YOURE VIDS
Ok i think i get it now. Ill try it out later. The pattern i choose is absulutly massive (65 base strings) so im gonna have lots of fun with that. I think im going to have a string poster.
I picked up on this way before normal patterns. I find them easier. Because u always use all the strings, and u dnt rly have to worry bout the knots. Is this normal. I still have issues with the regular patterns. I always lose which row I'm on. Lol
@smarkham96 Haha... yeah you need to be diligent with keeping an eye on your row. When I do patterns that are large (like the octopus with the sea scenery) I write down what step I am on just to remind myself.
when ever i try and tie my letter strand which is red around my weaving strand which is black there is always a hole any way i can fix it ? please help

@chaoscrafts Haha, hey there girly. Long time no talk. =D
I got my sleep machine and a new mask (the first one they fit me with didn't fit but this new one does) and I finally slept for the first time in like... 5+ years. It was glorious. I slept like 12 hours straight. ^_^ I still don't feel 100% yet but it might take a few weeks to get into rejuvenating myself and having my body stop craving sleep.
We need to talk. Maybe tomorrow I'll sit on AIM and see if you hop on. =D

@SuccetteTheLollipop I'm going to take a guess you were using craft thread. I had that problem with craft thread when I was first starting out. I switched to six stranded embroidery floss and haven't had a string snap ever since the switch.
BeyondBracelets 3 months ago
@BeyondBracelets where can i find that thread? thx so much!
SuccetteTheLollipop 3 months ago
@SuccetteTheLollipop Craft store should have it... Walmart has craft thread but I find it much weaker than six stranded embroidery floss found in the art stores.

MileyWebkinzFan900 3 months ago
@MileyWebkinzFan900 Not backward knots only. You need to do opposite what the colored strand is doing.

Does it matter how many strings you use to do this? Because I want to make one but I don't know how many strings I would need.
xXCheyenne94Xx 3 months ago
@xXCheyenne94Xx You can use as many as you need. Count the boxes on your pattern and that is how many base strings you will need. The written instructions below the video explain further.
BeyondBracelets 3 months ago
Hey hey! I have a quick question (kind of). I commented on an earlier video because I couldn't perform the pattern correctly. You had told me it was because I was holding too tightly to the foreground string. Does this mean that I can just hold it loosely and if the knot flips just let it be, then continue as normal with the other strings?
TheSaturdayParty 3 months ago
@TheSaturdayParty If the knot is flipping you need to adjust tension of the opposite string by making it a bit tighter so it flips back.
Alphas are a bit tricky with how you need to pull the strings. If you need to make a knot onto the weaving string with the background string you need to loosen up on the weaving string and let the background string be in control. If it's the color of the weaving string then you did it a bit too tight.
BeyondBracelets 3 months ago
hey i love your videos and i would like to know wat type of string u use because i have string that is always separating and it is really annoying i already tried thick string but its not the same
mimihotti 3 months ago
@mimihotti Six stranded embroidery floss. Some people use craft thread but I find it to be weaker. It won't "separate" like embroidery floss but if you pull too hard or wear the string down it is more likely to snap. There are pros and cons for both floss and craft thread... in the end it's up to you to decide which one you like more and can tolerate.
BeyondBracelets 3 months ago
How do we start this ? Besides a loop' because I'm making a bracelet with a picture , and there's 15 strings including the long string? And how do. U end it?
braceletgeek01 3 months ago
@braceletgeek01 Braids... or some people tie the strings together at the end and then use a ribbon clamp.

@IzzyCruz100 Nothing you can do about it other than just look for smaller patterns, Smaller patterns mean less detail that is why people use more- they want more detail.

thanks for this tutorial. Great demo and I was able to make my first letter. I think I will have a problem if I have to use more than two colors. I don't know how to place them. I guess I'll learn as I do more. I've only made 4 bracelets, 2candy and 2 pink ribbon because I followed your demos. I like that you talk us through the video. Very helpful. I find myself saying backward knot, forward knot, backward forward knot while I'm doing them. Good that I'm alone when I do that.

I picked up on this way before normal patterns. I find them easier. Because u always use all the strings, and u dnt rly have to worry bout the knots. Is this normal. I still have issues with the regular patterns. I always lose which row I'm on. Lol
