I just wanna say a quick bracelet hack if you wanna use sparkly string in your alphas you can take the sparkly ribbon like string out of the yarn and weave it into embroidery floss or if you don’t have any sparkly yarn you can easily make it, just use a strand of metallic embroidery floss and weave that into your string to, I use it all the time when I want sparkle in my alphas but don’t want my bracelet edges to be wonky, or if I simply want a little sparkle in my alphas here and there in the bracelet but want it to be the same colour as the background
Oooh, thank you so much for the extra explanation! I much prefer teardrop/triangle beginnings, but always have issues figuring out where to start!! Very helpful and beautiful bracelet!! 🩷💙💛
I'm so happy I found your work! I decided to pick up bracelet making again and wanted to try new styles (I'd been doing the same ones that I learned from a book given to me as a kid, lol), so I went over to Amazon where I found your book!! A reviewer said it was a great book, but what was even better as an accompaniment was your YT channel. I'll just say #FACTS. I am teeming with excitement!! Thank you so much!! 😊💛
Do you think I could start it out by doing a candy stripe with the two first colors? That way it'll still be slanted but not so much. It wouldn't have the plaid look but that's ok. I'd probably end it with another double stripe of the ending color.
Love the video! Great job! I have a question, and anyone can feel free to answer; is there a reason you started the bracelet in the middle of the pattern?
I think it was just because she wanted to start with the dark blue, and that was the point in the pattern where the dark blue was on the edge. 😊 I think you could start at any point, it’s just a matter of what color you want to start with. 😊
@@cvgsunset5844Ahh, I gotcha! Thanks so much! I wasn't sure if there was a special reason to always start that way, or a lesson I missed or something haha so I appreciate you taking the time to tell me! Thanks again! 😊
I know a great hack for adding beads while you're tying the bracelet: is to put a good portion of Elmer's glue to the tip of the string you're working with, twist the string to for a point, to and let it dry for a bit, to form an aglet (you know, the plastic thing on the end of your shoelaces) that way you can easily string up your beads.
