I have a question for alpha makers: have you ever had the strings in your alphas come out or fray, or your bracelets fall apart if you don't glue the back strings? What do you usually do with the back strings?

The lady I watch tutorials from says she just cuts them, but I wanna make sure my bracelet won't fall apart before deciding how to finish it. Ty for the help !! โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

I would recommend trying to secure the strings. I use clear nail polish but you could also use other things like glue.

Iโ€™ve just cut them as close to the bracelet as I can and havenโ€™t had one fall apart. The only time Iโ€™d worry about fastening it in if itโ€™s a single knot of that colour.

jayishere2 I just cut them, I think if you use the flat alpha technique, nothing will go wrong

I sew in the remaining strings and tie a knot to secure them
