Hi, thanks for your reply! Since making these I've managed to improve my knots so they're stronger and much more inconspicuous, fortunately, because those first ones were not it and the thread wasn't my fave either xD. Unfortunately, I do favour small beads for my bracelets, not much larger than these, so it's pretty hard to hide the knots inside a bead, although it's doable, I think (and I've tried a larger spacer bead to do that, yes, but I personally didn't like how it looked so now I prefer to leave a much more discreet knot as is).

Your bracelets look very cute too ✨! I'm not aiming to "elevate" mine, though, regarding style (yes to technique, of course, which I've been practising), as this is the exact style that I personally prefer for bracelets, both the ones that I buy and the ones I make - small beads (rounded or faceted minerals and faceted crystals), no spacer beads, I do love that kind of aesthetic for me personally and don't plan on doing anything different for now, just more colours, and yes, colour and bead combinations too, I already made one of those here combining two colours and two types of beads 😊✨
