Make your favourite bracelet again!Try a technique you've never tried before like a twisted or braided bracelet. |

Watch bracelet related videos like string hauls, knot with me, bracelet tutorials, etc. Joining challenges on braceletbook is also super motivating. You can join official challenges, which are either hosted by a mod or an admin. You get rewards, which are the little numbers next to your avatar. Unofficial challenges are also super fun because you can win prizes like shoutouts in someone’s bio and/or someone makes one of your patterns. I also like to try out a new technique when I’m not really motivated, for example, try making an alpha normal merge or the upside down alpha technique. There’s a lot of other techniques you can try and 2006_Mandy posted a tutorial dedicated to some of them in the tutorials tab.

- challenge yourself on a bracelet- buy thread - make an old favorite pattern - simply take a little break If you just take a break then you can get back into bracelets easily... |

i was in a bracelet slump about a month ago since i was forcing myself to make bracelets for the holidays lol. i started participating in challenges, not just the official ones, and it definitely helped me to become more motivated. it also helps me and a lot of other ppl to have something playing in the background, like a show or music. i also love watching bracelet related videos like monthly wrap-ups showcasing peoples bracelets, or a thread haul/ video of organizing thread. overall, knotting is something that should be fun!! if it ever gets to the point where it feels like a chore, it might be good to take a break c:

You can always embrace the slump too. Maybe try another craft for a bit? You can use alpha patterns for lots of other crafts too and still participate in the community. So

**sometimes I don’t really know anything for a month or two at a time. And do another craft that makes me happy and I always work my way back to bracelets.

watch bracelet videos, like hauls and tutorials. i’ve lost motivation multiple times and then a video of kinsey b or masha knots would pop up in my recommended and then i would get motivated again!

Hello! I have definitely been in a slump before. 🙁 But things that really help, are looking at other's photos for inspiration. Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and BB are really great places to look for ideas. If I see someone who makes really good bracelets with good color schemes, then I tend to get inspired a lot more often. Participating in challenges are a great way to get out of one. Also, watching YouTube videos are really helpful. Anyway, I hope this helps. Happy knotting!! 😊

Try to make a bracelet that you have been wanted to make for a long time I tried doing that 2 days ago and it was so fun it was a big wall-hanging.

I usually make bracelets based on the season when I’m in a bracelet slump sooo you could to a whiner one or maybe a Valentine’s Day one!
