So in terms of leading strings you need to make them as long as your bracelet is going to be plus some extra to make a loop and/or ties.For the leading strings, I would reccomend having atleast one skien of the background colour and the main colour of the glasses and a couple of meters of string for the other two colours. If you are wondering how long to cut the leading strings whilst you're actually working with them then it doesnt really matter because you can always add more string in one the piece you cut has run out. To make it easier some people will just use the whole skien whilst their working and then cut it of afterwards. |

For the base strings I would prob make them about 5-6 inches because I like my base strings kinda long

I just realized that I meant to say base strings not leading strings on the very first line, I'm not very good at typing lol

I like to just do my wingspan and then add like 10-20 cm depending on how long you want to make your bracelet
