What do you do when your braided end strings are too short? I find that I am able to braid some of the short ends halfway but then they end before I can make a secure knot to tie off. If I just leave it there but trim off the excess string, will it come undone? Or what can I do about this? I really like the braided ends method because I can make a slip-slide knot that lets me adjust the bracelet so I can take it off and put it on without having to tie it back on all the time.

Yeah, my cookie one had about a third of the strings run out. So I replaced them in the last row, I advise doing it more gradually then I did

I’m having trouble picturing what you mean, would you be able to take a photo of it and temporarily set it as your profile picture?

Mmmmm... my work around for this is to make ties using square knots half-square knots instead of braiding; that way, I can get at least lost

*That way I can get at least most of the short strings secured under the knots (before i finally have to trim off the stub ends that stick out). And the tie length can keep going on after the end of the short strings as long as you still have string to knot around.

Apologies for the truncated comment. Unintentionally hit ‘send’ while typing. 😅
