Mine end with up curling up and turn up uneven and you don’t see all of the colors. Can some one please explain to me on how to make them right!

Hey! Your knot tension might be off if they are curling at the sides; what this means is, Make sure all your knots are the same tightness, especially if you’re trying any special techniques, all your knots should be the same.

as well as this, try learning the straight edge technique, and use the same type of thread all the way through so you’re knots are the same size ❤️

Yeah, I make sure to keep my threads consistent otherwise some knots tend to stick out more than others. Like they said I would also try to make sure that the knots are not being pulled too tightly as well!

Try using the flat alpha technique and use consistent knot tension. Don't start off with too hard of a pattern with lots of colour switches

Make sure you are using the same thickness of thread, and make sure to pull it firmly but not too tightly. This can cause the bracelet to curl and warp. And also don't work on really detailed patterns with lots of colors at first. (Like #22037). You can also use the flat alpha and straight edges technique, Masha Knots has tutorials on both and those helped my alphas. Practice makes improvement!

Knot tension is really important in alphas. When you make a colour switch, make the knots a bit tighter so that they don’t stand out. Even the thickness of the thread is really important, try to use the same brand and type of thread. Masha knots has a lot of videos on alpha bracelets that are really helpful, you can check them out.
