Do you know what you are struggling with exactly?For the ties, if you are doing twisted ties, twist both halves tightly on their own before twisting them together in the opposite direction. Are you looking for advice on alpha or normal triangle ends? For normal triangle ends I like to do single coloured edges. I think they just look the neatest. |

another technique you could try for normal triangle ends is once you’ve finished all the normal knots in the triangle shape, flip the bracelet upside down so you’re looking at the wrong side of the bracelet. then do your triangle end knots as normal and flip it back over. it gives a bit of a cleaner look! 🙂

I'd do a slanted start for that. It's basically like a half triangle end. I think aesthetically it fits best.

You basically only do one edge of the triangle, not two. The tip of the triangle is either at the left edge of the bracelet or at the right edge. From this point you knot the edge like you would knot the edge of a regular triangle end.Are you allowed to watch YouTube videos? Some users aren't. Here is a video on it: https://youtu.be/iDjyZnV_olQ For most friendship bracelet techniques you'll find videos on YouTube. |

Can you do triangle ends on any normal pattern? Or does it have to be chevron-based (although all normal patterns are based off of geometric shapes)?

@alpineeo yes, you can do triangle ends on any normal pattern because they all have the same base structure

Ohhhhh I’m so glad I found this hahaha! I struggle with triangle ends on alphas. The starts? No issue. It’s when I go to finish the bracelet, the other triangle end looks all sorts of wonky, and

Sorry, accidentally sent before I wanted to 😂 ANYWAYS, the ends curl upward as well. Knot tension issue?
