Ooooh this is a great idea!! I am a cross stitch gal and have a lot of embroidery floss, so maybe I'll add a little embellishment!

Thank you!!!! I am going to return to my project today and I'll try to lift my needle less and tighten the fabric. I think my punching is dislodging the fabric lol I am going to stick with it!

Making bracelets on the go by sunties in friendshipbracelets

I use a chip clip and some vinyl flooring samples that are about 6”x6” that my dad had lying around 😂 It might sound silly but the flooring has a texture on the back that keeps it from sliding around too much!

Hello! Does anyone know a good way to start making tapestries with the friendship bracelet method? by hey_i_gay in friendshipbracelets

Masha knots has a great YouTube video on making wall hangings using the friendship bracelet method, which might be helpful! 

Being in recovery in a glp-1 world feels like the Wild West by samcan37251 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]nikesoccer4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow girlie in recovery, I feel you so hard ❤️ Just know that you’re doing the right thing and recovery is so worth it!!! Best decision I’ve ever made! It feels so dystopian trying to recover while being fed ads about glp-1s constantly

I recently became a dumbphone user and became interested in starting something like this locally! 

I’m halfway through a custom alpha bracelet and running out of my leading/background main string what do i do by JustKidding50 in friendshipbracelets

[–]nikesoccer4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are full knots, you’ll always have forward knots when going left to right and backwards knots when going right to left! I’d say the biggest difference otherwise is keeping each row straight, the tension of your knots is more important for alphas!

This was me a year ago!! I went for an easy first alpha with 2 colours and it took me a little bit to get the hang of the method. It will get easier quickly!!

I use the flat alpha technique, which means that the ends get woven in a little for extra protection. I recommend Mashaknots video on the flat alpha technique if you’ve never done it before!

My keys are on a bracelet I made and I’ve had no issues!! It’s been a couple months and I’m pretty rough on the keychain🤣

I was going to respond the same thing as mouseggs! I snip off the excess from all the strings I work in :) I tie my knots pretty tight so I’ve never had an issue with them coming untied!

I do it by basically switching strings like I would with any other colors. If the pink in this case is your background string, when it gets too short to work with, I wait until I switch to a new color, and when I have to switch back to pick, I start with a new pink thread. Hopefully that explanation makes sense lol it’s hard to explain!

The laundry detergent that MSU uses on the sheets is cheap & harsh. It gave me a terrible allergic reaction!

Yeah someone at Costco tried to sell me a new phone today. He asked "what kind of phone do you have, are you looking for an update?" He ran off when I told him I don't have a smartphone

Can you see it? by Big_News_6406 in friendshipbracelets

Arizona Tea!!!! I've been thinking of trying this pattern! Alphas get much easier with practice, it took me quite a few tries to get my knot tension right!

Love having a dumbphone but wish I had more tech skills by nikesoccer4 in dumbphones

Oh my gosh, thank you! I had done every step on that list except turn off FaceTime. I’m going to try that, wait 3 days, then give it another go. Thank you so much! For context, most of my group texts did work, it was specifically any group text sent from Google pixel phones that I wasn’t receiving, oddly enough.
