Hey, sorry you’ve been feeling discouraged lately. And it’s true bracelets can be a stressful hobby. I know this sounds so stupid and cliche but it’s true, but just keep practicing. I know when I started out I would get discouraged too because everyone’s bracelets were so much better than mine and I couldn’t make them look nice. But I just watched a bunch of tutorials on YouTube and practiced a ton. For alpha as maybe you could try the straight edges technique and I know Masha Knots has a tutorial on that. Just remember to take your time and try finding and making patterns you enjoy. Hope this helps 💚

I have been watching tons of youtube videos lately because I have been in a bracelet slump for a while but I sell my bracelets so I have to keep making them. Maybe try doing some keychain alphas to get the hang of them since they are not very big and there is some easier pattern that you could try. Hope this helped!! ❤️ |

Hey do not feel discouraged we all are learning together I promise! If you ever need help or advice just come on here. This is an area for sharing we all get as involved as we want as little as we want or as much as we want and that's okay. I learn by youtube and just google or ask for the topics I am looking for to find the best videos. Just take it slow don't stress yourself out! Keep trying and let me know if I can help in any way. A couple of quick suggestions try the straight edge technique and don't pull strings too hard! I always start either small or simple so I try not to get involved with too many colors because it does get stressful but this is your hobby and you want it to relax you so just take it one step at a time. You will get the hang of it we are all here for you! ❤️ ❤️

@big1981234 hi! my name is kelsey too 😂 anyways, it’s easy to discouraged. I’m sure you are very experienced with doing bracelets for so long so I understand why it’s frustrating. It’s really does just take practice and patience. watching tutorials and going slowly so that every knot is just the way you want it to be. sorry but I hope this helped

Just keep practicing! I would also say that going slow, and making sure that each knot is perfect / how you like it. Perfection takes time. Hope this helps 🙂

Sometimes, when I make bracelets I put in some head phones and listen to my favorite songs. I usually gets me in a better mood an sometimes in the middle of my bracelet, I get up from my bed and just dance like no ones watching.
