So whenever I make my alphas, they always start curling up so they look like a bowl, what can I do to stop that from happening?

Thank you @Brookes121 ! I do the flat alphas technique and I’ll try to knot them looser! (I do tie them pretty tight 😂)

the flat alpha technique might help! and try using less knot tension when you make the knots. try making them looser so the bracelet is smoother and not as stiff.

This happens to me...

Option 1
_________

Get them soaking wet and put something heavy and flat on them and let it dry out completely.

Option 2
_________

Use a hair straightener (carefully, please) to flatten out your pattern.

Use a flat iron to apply heart to it some patterns like the candy strip naturally do that
