I wear about 20 friendship bracelets. And today my mom commented that I do a nice job on the bracelets, but it looks poor with all the frayed ends! I generally do a braid on either end of the bracelet, with an adjustable knot or I just tie the two braids. But lately some of the braids have been coming undone! Any suggestions on how to stop the ends from fraying? Or cleaning them up once they've frayed? Thanks!

use other endings like button endings, see my photos in this pattern: http://www.braceletbook.com/pattern_normal/3213.html

Sometimes,to stop fraying, I get a tiny bit of tacky glue on my finger and glue the individual strands together. But if you wear your bracelets in the shower, tye glue will start to wash off. My own experience XD or I make mine bigger and cut the extra strings as close to the knot as possible but tighten the knot 100% so I just slip them on and off. 🙂

Wow, that button ending looks very complex. Do you have a tutorial for that?& I wear mine in the shower, so that wouldn't work for me. |
