How long should I make my string for an average bracelet?

I usually cut my strings long as my wingspan and then I fold it and do a loop or just cut it. So if you need two strings the same color just cut it long as your wingspan and fold it in half or when you need just one I cut it from my fingers to middle of my chest

In the FAQs it's written that they should be 1m long but usually I take longer strings than that.

I like to have longer strings to be safe, so I don’t have to add more string in. I use what is left over after the ties in my alphas. So it all works together pretty well

I usually do my wingspan and then fold it in half, them when I add the braid later I would cut the top.

I usually do mine around 6 or 7ft, but it depends on the bracelet🙂

What about the length for the base strings of alphas?

It depends on if you are making a bracelet or something else. If you are doing a bracelet, make the base strings the length of you wrist plus a few inches. Hope this helps!

If you want exact measurements, try 30-35 inches for one strand and 60-75 inches for loops. Add 3-4 inches for one side of the braided and twisted ends, and 7-8 if youre gonna do it on both sides

make sure you are able to size your strands larger if a color comes up a lot more i. the pattern... those colors will definitely get shorter, faster
