10 Tips for Better Alpha Bracelets 

aesthetically born I’m using a different knotting technique it’s ‘upside down’ so to speak. So the back of my work looks like the front of a normal alpha. You can check out my mountain alpha tutorial if you want more info on it! 😉

Megan Morris Thank you so much!! I’ve seen a lot of people use this technique and I thought they were just showing the back of the bracelets 😂 it’s looks very nice tho it’s not for me!!! You sure do make it look so pretty and calming tho

@@MegMakesCrafts thats sooo cool your super talented

@@aestheticallyborn4253 I thought the exact same thing lol 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

When I use an embroidery floss that is slightly thicker, I remove one string (using 5 instead of 6) and reuse the one I removed for embroidery, or multicoloured fractionned string

Kylie Bui yes that is how it is supposed to look it’s called an upside down alpha because you make the knots upside down so the front is the back and the back is the front if that makes sense

hanna Lahiani pull it as tight as you normally would! 🤗

Ur not supposed to have ties the toothpick stays there after or u take it out

For the first tip for this particular bracelet it will be a mini charm with the intent to hang it. But if you didn’t fold your strings and left tails there you could technically untie from the toothpick and do braids on either end.

{Unknown} I just did a tutorial on the upside down method! My last post with the mountain bracelet! 😉

Megan Morris oh ok thanks!

Practise, try to take note of which type of knot is behaving a certain way. You can also play with moving your base strings a bit while tying - for example the opposite way your knot leans. You can also play with different types of base strings which may help!

Hi back from Canada! 😄 I did a quick attempt once for a knotting dangerously video but I haven’t spent time to completely master it and do a tutorial.

Edmarely Corral #30471 but rotated vertical and trimmed so it’s not a bracelet!

I haven’t looked at this video in a while but if it doesn’t look like regular embroidery floss it’s probably Aunt Lydia’a Fashion 3 crochet thread.

Clary's Adventure unfortunately, as of right now with the equipment I have, the only way for me to do that is zoom in. I only use my phone to record and to zoom in as much as necessary to completely clip the tripod out I’d have to sacrifice considerable image quality. So it’s not as aesthetically pleasing but the clarity is better and I think that’s more important than whether you see the corner of the tripod. 🤷🏻‍♀️

blue boy I believe it’s #31419 you’re speaking of 🤔 the sunset one?

@@MegMakesCrafts yesss thats the one 😁 thank you so much! love everything you make 8)

Georgia Haydon I do a mix of regular alphas and upside down alphas now. In this video I am using the upside down technique.
