this might be a dumb question but is it better to have flimsy bendy bracelets or to have stiff bracelets? Mine always turn out very flimsy is there a way to make them more stiff? |

i prefer stiff bracelets because they are more hardy... they last longer for the people who wear them in my

experience. to make them stiffer, your knots need to be tighter. this means you have to make sure the FIRST half of the knot is tight, more importantly than the second half 😊 (also sorry that’s in two parts i accidentally pressed send)

My method for stiffer bracelets is to, yes, make the knots tighter, but to also make sure the first half of each knot gets right between the two knots from the previous row, especially if using the row-by-row method. I hope this helps 🙂

Mine are stiff because I tie my knots pretty tight I like mine stiff because I wear some and they are tougher and don’t get pulled has easily but it’s all personal preference

Mine are pretty stiff. I like stiff and flimsy and the same time cause with stiff you don't see much holes. With flimsy I like it cause it feels like cloth.

I normally tie my knots fairly tight, so my bracelets turn out pretty stiff. I prefer having stiffer bracelets, as they hold up better and don't get worn out as fast.

i like stiffer bracelets personally, but it is a personal preference. you can make your bracelets stiffer but taping them down to something and making your knots tighter. with bendy bracelets, the knots become further apart and the bracelet starts to fall apart.

It all depends on preference. I prefer a bracelet more on the flimsy side, but sturdy. I knot tight but not SUPER tight. They fit better on the wrist and sit more comfortably

It definitely depends on what you like but I regularly make my knots very tight because I am usually able to stretch out my bracelet slightly anyways when I am finished with it even if it is stiff : )

The bendier they are, the more likely in my experiences to twist, and it makes it harder for me to continue the bracelet. This is just my personal preference, but it's really up to you!

I prefer soft. I think it’s for preference. I usually do not to tight of knots but not too loose, this way it’s soft and inbeteeen stiff and flimsy

I prefer it tighter since they last longer and a loose bracelet gets on my nerves with how many holes they have if you stretch them
