Hey! So I don’t really know why but recently whenever I make normal bracelets of any kind, they always turn out with holes and very very loose when what I need is a firm sturdy bracelet. I’m not really sure why but some of my older normal patterns are better than what I’ve been making recently and I’m starting to waste a ton of string please help. Thanks

Make sure you are pulling the first half of your knots tight before making the second half. The first half determines the placement of the knots and the second half secures it in place. The closer the knots are together the sturdier the bracelet is.

hi! make sure your strings have the same (or similar) thickness sizes and practise your knot tension. don't knot too tightly or too loosely, so that the spaces between the knots will be equal. also, remember that the first half of the knot places it and the second half secures it. before you knot the second half which secures the knot, make sure that the first half is at the correct place. hope this helps!
