Hi there! I was wondering how do i make my bracelet not have holes? Since i made a bracelet for the first time i don't know how to make it stay tight. Also what brands are good for alpha friendship bracelets? The reason is because i heard different brands can make the knits tighter or bigger or even smaller too. Any ideas?? 🤔 😊

Are you missing any knots on your bracelet? That usually creates holes. dmc thread is a good brand tho its kinda expensive (well at least where i live) Amazon thread can also be good. |

To fix the holes thing make sure that the knots you make stay really close to the bracelet itself, maybe you can push them with your nail. As for thread for alphas, everything works but make sure you only use one brand. I use amazon thread, it's really cheap and it comes in a lot of colors, just search for embroidery floss and see what comes up. Hope this helps! If you don't understand what I mean you can always message me and i'll try to explain it better.

how is missing knots creating holes? i thought i knotted every single base string but now i am not sure. i know the bracelet i just made is not perfect since this is my first time, but I am not sure. i even noticed that when i was knotting every row, in between knots would get loose and make holes. i don't understand that either. 😭

Try making tighter knots to fix the holes and also finish the knot the whole way also I personally use dmc thread and I love it!! Also if dmc may be a bit more then what you want to spend try Walmart or Amazon or target!! ❤️❤️
