@n0tmia ( https:://youtu.be/cJdSRJoSbKs) This is the tutorial by @Crafty_K that is the most similar to what I do. The only different thing i do is that i try to knot all the string together without leaving out any in the middle, but her technique is better if you don't want the keychain to buckle. Hope this helps, btw love your username 😊

@abhr It's similar to one of the ways you can end a keychain, where you take the base strings and knot them together, kind of like you would do with the triangle ends on normals just pulling them tighter (i have a picture of m&m keychains you can check out, if you need a video tutorial i can send you the link).
You have to turn your bracelet so that the pattern you want to display is facing the table, so you are knotting in the back.
Basically, dividing the base strings in half, so they can meet in the middle, instead of taking the second to last string near the ends and knotting with it on the last string with a bf/fb knot (first step), and continuing to do the same thing with the next string and so on until you reach the center, basically pulling all of your string in a bundle which would leave you with only one available string to work with (for that half of the base strings);
You do a similar thing but instead of putting them in a bundle you do the first step then with the next available string you do a knot on the string you just knotted with leaving out the string that was last knotted on, then you keep doing that until you get to the middle.
What happens is that the strings you left out get pushed up leaving you with a clean look in the front.
A tip i could give you would be to pull the string that is being knotted on horizontally, parallel to the bracelet to keep the knots tight and consistent.
I did cut the string on the back to about a centimeter of length and I glued them down just to be safe, but you can also sew some fabric on the back to hide it which I plan on doing.
Sorry for so much text, i can explain more if you'd like, hope this helped!

@OttoMotto Can I ask how you got the ends flat like that? I've been looking for a way to do that without glue
