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
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
I don’t know if that this happens to anyone else but when I do normal patterns and sometime alphas the back of the bracelet looks like the upside down method?
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
For the upsidedown alpha method, how tight are you supposed to pull your knots? When i knot alphas the normal way, i pull fairly tight but when i knot upside down its really loose because im scared it will get ruined.😅
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.
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!
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. 🤷🏻♀️
