I have just started making bracelets again after a long break of not making any. The last time I was frequently making bracelets was about 2 years ago. I also haven't been active on here since I stopped making them but now I am back (yayyyy 😊) because I want to start making them again. I remeber how to do all the knots and how to follow patterns for normal patterns however I have only made 2 or 3 alphas before so I don't remember much. I am wanting to learn how to do alphas and also get back into making normal patterns. If anyone has any advice please let me know!!
I am also struggling with motivation recently because it's sad seeing that my bracelets aren't as good as they used to be because I haven't done it in so long. I am hoping that with practice I will be able to improve again but I just need to get my motivation back!!!

I am in the same boat as you!! I haven't made bracelets in 2-3 years (ish) and it was hard for me too. I personally found it super motivating to look at aesthetic pictures/patterns on pinterest. I highly recommend checking out some bracelet youtubers (my favourite is kinseyb) as their videos really inspired me. I also recommend checking out the OG MashaKnots tutorials for things you may have forgotten! (I have forgotten a lot lol)

Good luck!!

Thank you soo muchh!! Yes, I'm loving Masha Knots tutorials at the moment. I've found that videos have helped me sooo much to remeber everything again. I started making a bracelet and it's nearly finished and I can already see the improvement. The second half of the bracelet is neater and the knots line up nicely 😄 Now I'm so excited to start making bracelets again. And omg yess I remember watching kinsey b a few years ago when i was frequently making bracelets. I'm definitely going to watch some of her videos!!

@Immy and @CozyCraft , Welcome back to the world of friendship bracelets. If your after another recommendation for tutorials, everything became clear to me after watching a tutorial by Alex's Innovations (The beginner's guide to Alphas). Good Luck!

@Immy and @CozyCraft I’m so happy that y’all decided to pick the craft back up! What I love to do is scroll thru patterns related to my favorite things and try to challenge myself with one that is both pretty and something I love
