What is a good amount of base strings for a key chain. I know if there are to many the keychain won’t look good bc of the curve the keychain has. So what is a good amount when using a keychain?? Thank you!!!

hmm you mean like a circular one? I would say try to find a pattern with 15-20 base strings (:
also I just bought some d-ring keychains on amazon and they are flat on the bottom so you might want to look into those too because then the pattern won't curve!

Depends on the size of the keychain you can always do a shaped start where you start with like a few knots in the first row and expand as you go (the shaped alpha technique) or you could even do a loop and triangle end.

I mean when you cut of strings in your alphas how do you make the knot not untie and look messy

@coco-k if your talking about the old leading strings on the back of an alpha, I usually just cut them right off without making a knot. I’ve heard some people use glue, and other people just stitch fabric or felt to the back to make it look cleaner.

Thank but when your string is to short and you cut it off it looks sloppy and the knot unties
