Exactly what it says in the title. The iridescent thread I'm using is stiff and easily unravels, which is really throwing off my bracelet. Any tips on how to make it easier to work with?

I use my metallic and irredentist thread by pulling part the single strands and pairing it with a normal embroidery floss. You can use it to make your own sparky thread without making you bracelet scratchy and hard to make.

I take out 2 strands and that seems to make it just right for knotting. Also putting a knot at the end is helpful! 🙂

I use DMC etoile instead of normal sparkly thread (mostly) there’s not much of a color selection (unless you spend 30 bucks on a giant box of them) it there like normal embroidery floss except sparkly idk you can search it it’s hard to explain, also tie knots at the end for using normal sparkly floss (sometimes etoile needs it too but not really)
