Hi, so I’ve been wanting to try some wider bracelets for 24 strands, and I’m not quite sure how to start it in a way where it will still look nice and neat but also be a functional bracelet. Is there a tutorial, video, or tips you can give me for this?@Lou_22 |

You could do a triangle start and triangle end with twisted ties at both ends. Even a teardrop loop might work but it gets bigger as the bracelet gets wider so I wouldn't recommend it over the triangle end. However, I would suggest taking a look at what other people have made and that will give you a better idea. Here's a guide for a variety of starts and ends- https://youtu.be/N6-KQDLeKik |

Hi! I like to start my bracelets with a loop, and two triangle ends so you can make ties. Masha knots has a tutorial for this called triangle ends.

triangle ends are the way to go!! I used them with the starburst bracelet, which is like 34 strings and it looks great. Masha Knots has tutorials on YouTube for triangle ends. hope this helps! ❤️

For alphas, I like to use a D ring keychain (got them on amazon), which works the same way as a wooden stick for a wall hanging/tapestry. Kinsey knots has a good tutorial for this that I used to learn :] For normal patterns, I like to use triangle ends with braided or twisted ties, you can even do double, triple, etc. triangle ends if that would work better with the pattern. Masha Knots has a great tutorial on this that I learned from :] Hope this helps! |

I like to leave a little extra string for the top, then start in a straight line for normals, and add both triangle ends later since my bracelets end up looking funny when I do the triangle ends first, if that makes any sense
