Bonjour
J'ai fait un bracelet pour un ami mais il ne peut pas l'attacher car les tresses de fin sont trop courtes. Comment faire pour les rallonger ? J'aimerais éviter de devoir refaire tout le bracelet.
Merci

Welcome to braceletbook. I translated what you wrote using google translate, so others also know what you are talking about. There might be mistakes in the translation.

Title: Braids to attach the bracelet too short

Text:
Hello
I made a bracelet for a friend but he can't tie it because the end braids are too short. How to extend them? I would like to avoid having to redo the entire bracelet.
THANKS

My answer:
If there is a loop on one side, you can easily attach ties on that side. You would make a braid, fold it in half and attach it to the loop using a lark's head knot.
If there is no loop, you somehow need to tie the new ties to the already existing ties.
You could also try attaching crimp ends instead of the braids.

I think other people probably know better solutions 🙂

Ça dépend de combien c'est "trop court". J'ai déjà attaché un bracelet où il me restait genre 2 cm de chaque côté en utilisant un autre bout de fil et en faisant un noeud de cabestan autour des 2 extrémités, une fois autour du poignet. Par contre après tu peux plus l'enlever (moi ça a tenu 5 ans avant que je le coupe) 🙂 de la même façon tu pourrais faire un noeud de base aussi, mais ça tiendra moins bien

Quick translation : you can make a capstan knot with another piece of thread around both ends while the bracelet is around the wrist, held for me for 5 years
