So i get motivated to make a bracelet so i begin to make one, something goes wrong or i simply don't want to continue and i put it in my scrap pile then it just continues. Now I have a bag FILLED with random string. How do i keep motivated?

Personally, I don’t have that many unfinished bracelets, but I would say to just make a rule for yourself to not start a new pattern until you finished the one that you’re working on. Obviously if you don’t like the pattern or something went wrong, then you definitely shouldn’t feel pressured to finish it, but always make sure that you’re passionate about the pattern before starting it. Maybe also try to change things up by experimenting with different techniques, ties, starts and ends, etc

Looking at other's bracelet pictures is a great way I stay motivated! Pinterest, Instagram, as well as BB are all great places to get inspiration! I would also suggest switching back and forth after every bracelet: normal, alpha, normal, alpha, etc. 🙂 It's sort of like a fresh start type of thing. It's kind of weird, but it works!! 😄

i would say start a show or movie or just something on the side for example whenever I'am watching tv i almost always am working on a pattern on the side. Also i recently started, starting bracelets like around 2 or 3 generally an alpha and normal so you can work on the pattern your want or are in the mood for( if you do this dont start too much because then you may stop one for another so if you do this dont start too much at once just a couple to give your self some choice but not too many and make sure you finish all of them by the end otherwise you are just making more scrap bracelets.) hope this helps 😉

also watching live streams even if they are just a rec cuz they long so they make you knot for a while.

Take breaks and make sure to not spend a lot of time on a bracelet. Try to have something running in the background like music, or the TV or a YouTube video, etc.... This makes sure that you don't have sore fingers after making a few rows and also keeps you occupied while making Bracelets. 😄
