Tension is SUPER important and it’s often difficult to get it right right away. Tying your knots a lot tighter will stiffen the bracelet (just be careful not to strain your hands or wrists 🙂) but you don’t always want to knot TOO tight either. Correct tension definitely comes with a lot of practice.

For the tension of the knot the placement of the first half of the knot matters the most so make sure to pull that tight before you finish the knot with the second half of the knot. With the second half of the knot you can't make it tighter or looser.

You can also soak your bracelet in water after as the thread soaked up all the water. This makes the bracelets very slight shrink therefore making it more stiff. Then I just let it air dry and straighten it out with a low heat straightener ❤️✌🏻 hope this helps 🐝🍯

To make stiffer bracelets I tend to tie very tight knots and that keeps my bracelets stiff

Make your knots tighter. The first knot should be tighter, and then the second should be a little looser

Most of this has been said but tie the first knot really tight and then the second knot normal to get it stiff but still looking nice 😊 hope this helps

I tie my knots really tight so much so that I can hold the strings just a little bit away from the bracelet and the bracelet itself sticks straight out both halfs matter tie them tight at first your skin will go raw but so calming cream and vitamin E on it and let it heal over time it won't really happen for me it never happened because I have thicker skin there because of my other crafts like art round loom knitting and more
